Skid Characteristics of Pavement Surfaces in Indiana

In 1953, drivers in the United States became involved in 31,450 fatal and 1,302,000 non-fatal accidents. Many of these accidents were primarily the fault of the drivers involved, but a great number might have been minimized or prevented by safer highways. Although many factors are involved in the building of safety into highways, one of the more important items is the resistance of pavement sur...

The Fuzzy Inference on Wet-Pavement Related Crashes

The occurrence of a wet-pavement crash is actually a complex system, and to a large degree nonlinear, as the behavior of drivers and the interaction between roadway and vehicle characteristics tend to be nonlinear. As a result, prediction of wet-pavement crashes is difficult to model mathematically. Fuzzy logic models, however, can model nonlinear functions of enormous complexity, and can be bu...
