Impact of highway geometry and posted speed on operating speed at multi-lane highways in Egypt
The paper presents an analysis of roadway factors and posted speed limits that affect the operating speed at multi-lane highways in Egypt. Field data on multi-lane highways in Egypt are used in this investigation. The analysis considers two categories of highways. The first consists of two desert roads (Cairo-Alexandria and Cairo-Ismailia desert roads) and the second consists of two agricultura...
متن کاملModelling Free Flow Speed on Two-lane Rural Highways in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Free flow speed is used as a parameter in transportation planning and capacity analysis models, as well as speedflow diagrams. Many of these models suggest estimating free flow speed according to measurements from similar highways, which is not a practical method for use in B&H. This paper first discusses problems with using these methodologies in conditions prevailing in B&H and then presents ...
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...
