Traditionally, students use pencil and ruler to lay out lines and curves over contour maps for roadway geometry design. Numerous calculations of stopping sight distance, minimum turning radius, and curve alignments are required during the roadway design process in order to ensure safety, to minimize economic and environmental impacts, as well as to reduce construction costs. Students usually pe...

Based on Spatial structure of the roadway, threedimensional geometric modeling of the roadway has been studied.It is separately gived that a detailed analysis of roadway centerline modeling, roadway cross-section modeling, roadway intersection modeling and an efficient data structure. Using VC++ and openGL, a specific test was carried out.This paper introduces a relevant algorithm in which the ...

to properly plan for construction, repair, maintenance, and reconstruction of highways the minimum acceptable roadway condition is needed information. this, along with other pavement management tools, will help select the most desirable roadway alternatives. in this research the minimum acceptable conditions are developed based on an opinion survey of non-technical but high-level decision maker...

As Se en at ITS A 2 01 3! Why Light Roadways? Among the chief reasons for installing roadway lighting, according to guidance from the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES, 2000), is the potential for lighting to contribute to improved nighttime safety. And the logic that roadway lighting provides drivers with improved visibility and in turn greater distance and longer time to respond to potent...

human factors issues associated with roadway design and operations are critical components of improving highway safety. first, the three major components of highway safety are driver behavior, vehicle safety, and roadway safety. the general philosophy in roadside safety follows the priorities of (1) remove the hazard, (2) relocate the hazard, (3) make the hazard forgiving, and (4) shield the ha...

Though there exist ready-made DSRC/WiFi/3G/4G cellular systems for roadway communications, there are common defects in these systems for roadway safety oriented applications and the corresponding challenges remain unsolved for years, i.e., WiFi cannot work well in vehicular networks due to the high probability of packet loss caused by burst communications, which is a common phenomenon in roadwa...

Water inrush disaster is an important factor in restricting safe production of the coal mine. Taking the roadway in seam in Danhou Coal Mine, as the engineering background, according to the spatial relationship of the roadway, the impermeable layer, the fault and the loading conditions, the fault activation mechanical model under the roadway excavation disturbance was built, and the fault activ...

According to the geological characteristics of Xinjiang Ili mine in western area of China, a physical model of interstratified strata composed of soft rock and hard coal seam was established. Selecting the tunnel position, deformation modulus, and strength parameters of each layer as influencing factors, the sensitivity coefficient of roadway deformation to each parameter was firstly analyzed b...
