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 کاملModeling 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 کاملThe Effect of Speed Humps on Highways Pavement Condition
Speed humps used as a tool of traffic calming technique that applied to force drivers to reduce their vehicle’ speeds at some locations. For developed countries, the implementations of speed humps are often used within residential areas as well as at locations of schools crossing. For developing countries (e.g. Iraq), speed humps are used even at urban and urban highways. This paper investig...
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 کاملDynamic Traffic Assignment for Automated Highway Systems: A Two-lane Highway with Speed Constancy
Dynamic traffic assignment through analytical modeling and optimization has been widely accepted by the IVHS R&D community as a promising traffic control tool for understanding and relieving traffic congestion on conventional highways and city streets. Due to the completely controlled nature of AHS traffic, dynamic assignment of AHS traffic is even more promising. One added dimension of complex...
