Highway Safety Assessment through Geographic Information System-Based Data Visualization
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes a new method of safety assessment of highway stopping and passing sight distances. Topographic data were collected by flying a plane equipped with a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) system on a ...
Snow Event Effects on Interstate Highway Crashes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study compares snow event and equivalent nonsnow interstate vehicular crash rates and investigates weather-related elements that may contribute to crash occurrence during snow events. Vehicular crashes reported in the ...
Evaluation of Mobile Mapping Systems for Roadway Data Collection
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Mobile mapping systems (MMSs) are based on advanced technologies for automatically collecting roadway inventory data. A host of advanced technologies, such as the Global Positioning System for collecting georeferencing ...
Modeling and Operational Performance Evaluation of Driveway Assistance Devices for Lane Closures on Two-Lane Highway Work Zones
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Lane closures on two-lane highways due to work zone activities negatively impact traffic operational performance. In addition, traffic from access points (e.g., commercial and residential driveways or minor side roads) ...
