Field Implementation of Directional Rumble Strips to Deter Wrong-Way Driving on Freeways
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents the field implementation results of directional rumble strips (DRS), a low-cost traffic control device (TCD) designed to deter wrong-way driving (WWD) on freeways. Southbound off-ramps at Exits 208 and ...
Impacts of Directional Rumble Strips on Vehicle Speeds and Driver Behavior at Freeway Off-Ramps
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Drivers have an increased crash or incident risk when driving on freeway interchange ramps compared with the other interchange-related segments. Directional rumble strips (DRS), a pattern similar to the traditional traversable ...
Shaking Table Test on 1/2-Scale Model of Column-and-Tie Timber Structure Filled with Wooden Walls
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To study the influence of wooden walls on the seismic performance of traditional Chinese column-and-tie timber structures, two 1/2-scale two-story and two-span timber structure models were fabricated. The infill wall was ...
Interplay of Industrial Transformation, Diversified Governance, and Talent Gathering on the Ruralization of China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper examines the evolution from urbanization to ruralization in China, highlighting the role of national strategies in promoting the coordinated development of urban and rural areas. By introducing the concept of ...
Field Verification of Directional Rumble Strips to Deter Wrong-Way Freeway Driving
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper summarizes the results of Phase II of a research project developing a novel design of directional rumble strips (DRSs) to deter wrong-way driving (WWD) onto freeway off-ramps. In Phase I of this project, five ...
Study on Evaluation for Crowd Degree of Traffic Flow at Urban Tunnel Access Based on Acceleration Noise
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In order to study the running state of the traffic flow that occurred at urban tunnel access, the urban tunnel traffic flow was taken as the object of the study. Then the dynamic accelerations of traffic flow in Xuanwu ...
Experimental Analysis on Effectiveness of Crash Beams for Impact Attenuation of Overheight Vehicle Collisions on Railroad Bridges
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Collisions between overheight semitrailer trucks with low-clearance railroad bridges are one of the leading causes for railroad traffic interruptions on bridges in the United States. Current sensing efforts to inform drivers ...
