Potential crash reduction benefits of shoulder rumble strips in two-lane rural highways.
This paper reports the findings from a study aimed at examining the effectiveness of shoulder rumble strips in reducing run-off-the-road (ROR) crashes on two-lane rural highways using the empirical Bayes (EB) before-and-after analysis method. Specifically, the study analyzed the effects of traffic volume, roadway geometry and paved right shoulder width on the effectiveness of shoulder rumble st...
متن کاملFree-Gap Evaluation for Two-Lane Rural Highways
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2223, Transportation Research Board of the National Academies, Washington, D.C., 2011, pp. 9–17. DOI: 10.3141/2223-02 Operating speed is most frequently represented by the 85th percentile speed (V85) of vehicles passing at a given road location, in a nonplatoon condition, and it is usually determined by spot speed...
متن کاملAlternative Design Consistency Rating Methods for Two-Lane Rural Highways
Design consistency refers to the conformance of a highway's geometry with driver expectancy. Drivers make fewer errors in the vicinity of geometric features that conform with their expectations. Techniques to evaluate the consistency of a design documented within this report include alignment indices, speed distribution measures, and driver workload. Alignment indices are quantitative measures ...
متن کاملExploring Single Vehicle Crash Severity on Rural, Two-lane Highways with Crash-level and Occupant-level Multinomial Logit Models
This thesis is conducted to compare a crash-level severity model with an occupantlevel severity model for single-vehicle crashes on rural, two-lane roads. A multinomial logit model is used to identify and quantify the main contributing factors to the severity of rural, two-lane highway, single-vehicle crashes including human, roadway, and environmental factors. A comprehensive analysis of 5 yea...
