Mining the Characteristics of Secondary Crashes on Highways
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The prevention of secondary crashes is a high priority task in traffic incident management. However, the limited knowledge regarding the nature of secondary crashes largely impeded the development of established countermeasures. ...
Effectiveness of Temporary Rumble Strips in Alerting Motorists in Short-Term Surveying Work Zones
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many surveyors who work in/near live traffic encounter unique safety challenges as they are frequently exposed to fast moving vehicles. Unlike traditional work zones, safety countermeasures at surveying sites are usually ...
Assessing the Safety Effects of Removing Highway Mainline Barrier Toll Plazas
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Toll plazas create a number of bottlenecks on highways. They can induce motor vehicle crashes and also put workers such as toll collectors at risk. Enhancing safety at toll plazas is crucial to improving safety on tolled ...
Estimating Roadway Horizontal Alignment from Geographic Information Systems Data: An Artificial Neural Network–Based Approach
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Estimating horizontal alignment using discretized roadway data points, such as GIS maps, is complicated because the number of curved and tangent segments and their start and end points are not known a priori. This study ...
