چکیده
give access to the through pavements only at limited intervals. Where pavements pass through highly developed areas, I think such service drives will be necessary to overcome constant interference of traffic turning in and out of the property with through traffic. These service drives would not, of course, be improved to nearly as high type as the through pavements. In most cases a surfacing of gravel or crushed stone would be sufficient, and the design standards employed could be much below those which we would apply to a high-speed road.

The detection of lane boundaries on suburban streets using images obtained from video constitutes a challenging task. This is mainly due to the difficulties associated with estimating the complex geometric structure of lane boundaries, the quality of lane markings as a result of wear, occlusions by traffic, and shadows caused by road-side trees and structures. Most of the existing techniques fo...

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Safety has identified intersections as one of its safety focus areas. As part of the FHWA efforts to reduce intersection crashes and the related injuries and fatalities, two concepts have been identified: (1) rumble strips on outside shoulders and in a painted yellow median island on major road approaches and (2) channelizing separator islands...
