Analysis of Traffic Flow Variability on Two-Lane Highways
The main objective of this paper is to develop and test an approach for the spatio-temporal analysis of traffic flow variation on two lane highways. Traffic count devices located in several points of two lane highway links give the aggregate time series of data used in this approach, which is based on the Principal Components Analysis (PCA). The statistical analysis of main sources of temporal ...
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 ...
متن کاملAnother look at the safety effects of horizontal curvature on rural two-lane highways.
Crash Modification Factors (CMFs) are used to represent the effects on crashes of changes to highway design elements and are usually obtained from observational studies based on reported crashes. The design element of interest for this paper is horizontal curvature on rural 2-lane highways. The data for this study came from the Washington State database in the Highway Safety Information System ...
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 کاملStudying the Effect of Spiral Curves and Intersection Angle on the Accident Rates on Two-Lane Rural Highways in Iran
Safety on highways is one of the most important subjects in Transportation Engineering. The increasing rate of vehicles and the needs to design or geometrically modify the highways has been emphasized in the safe-design of roadways more than before. Between the constructive components of the highway, due to the increasing occurrences of accidents the horizontal curves are of great importance. T...
