چکیده
The Transportation Research Forum, founded in 1958, is an independent, nonprofit organization of transportation professionals who conduct, use, and benefit from research. Its purpose is to provide an impartial meeting ground for carriers, shippers, government officials, consultants, university researchers, suppliers, and others seeking exchange of information and ideas related to both passenger and freight transportation. More information on the Transportation Research Forum can be found on the Web at www.trforum.org.

The 1985 Highway Capacity Manual and Road User Costs for Two - Lane Roads
R oad user cost is an important consideration in highway economic analyses. The two main components of this cost are (a) motorvehicle running cost and (b) travel time. Highway engineers and economists know that, for road user costs (running costs plus travel time), lower traffic volume usually provides the least unit cost; as volume increases, the cost to the user increases because of congestio...
متن کاملEstimation Model of Two-Lane Rural Roads Safety Index According to Characteristics of the Road and Drivers’ Behavior
Vehicle crashes are amongst the major causes of mortality and results in losses of lives and properties. A large number of the vehicle crashes occur on rural roads. Accidents become more noteworthy in two-lane roads due to going and coming traffic. Therefore, prediction of crashes and their causes are considerably important to reduce the number and severity of the accidents. The safety index is...

متن کاملDriving with hemianopia, II: lane position and steering in a driving simulator.
PURPOSE The hypothesis that drivers with homonymous hemianopia (HH) would take a lane position that increased the safety margin on their blind side was tested with a driving simulator. METHODS Twelve participants with HH (six right HH and six left; nine men; mean age, 50 years; range 31-72), and 12 matched current drivers with normal vision (NV) each completed approximately 120 minutes of sim...
متن کاملDriver Vision Based Perception-Response Time Prediction and Assistance Model on Mountain Highway Curve
To make driving assistance system more humanized, this study focused on the prediction and assistance of drivers' perception-response time on mountain highway curves. Field tests were conducted to collect real-time driving data and driver vision information. A driver-vision lane model quantified curve elements in drivers' vision. A multinomial log-linear model was established to predict percept...
