Modeling the Operational Speed of Tangents and Curves in Four-lane Highways Based on Geometric and Roadside Factors
Operational speed is an index that represents drivers’ speeding behaviors and shows the comfort and safety levels they experience. Many models had been proposed to predict operational speed in tangent and curve segments of highways. Most of these works had used geometric, with few of them conducted using roadside variables to predict operational speed. Also, the operational speed study in multi...
متن کاملAssessing Risk Factors for Fatal Pedestrian Crashes on National Highways in India
In India, 486,476 crashes are reported and 137,572 fatalities during 2013. Major share of crashes (28.8% of total crashes) are on National Highways. Considering high importance of NHs in overall road network with respect to its connectivity to state capitals and business centres, and cater to high share of traffic (40%), there is an urgent need to investigate factors contributing to crashes on ...
متن کاملLearning Cooperative Lane Selection Strategies for Highways
This paper presents a novel approach to traffic management by coordinating driver behaviors. Current traffic management systems do not consider lane organization of the cars and only affect traffic flows by controlling traffic signals or ramp meters. However, drivers should be able to increase traffic throughput and more consistently maintain desired speeds by selecting lanes intelhgently. We p...
متن کاملIntelligent Lane Reservation for Highways (Position Paper)
The only way to keep up with the ever-increasing number of cars on roads is through constant change and improvement in the transportation infrastructure. Construction of new roads is constrained by space and financial resources. Therefore, there is a need to devise ways to make optimal use of the existing infrastructure. In this position paper, we describe a lane reservation system for highways...
متن کاملTwo-Lane Highways: International Perspective
The results of an extensive literature review of the safety performances of lowand intermediate-traffic-volume, two-lane rural highways are presented. The effects on traffic safety, as measured by accident rates, of pavement width, radius of curve/degree of curve, gradient, sight distance, traffic volume, and design speed on curved sections of two-lane rural highways are covered. The following ...
