Abstract: Entry and exit areas are considered critical parts of freeways and expressways. In order to meet traffic safety and operation requirements, it is important that ramps and speed-change lanes have the appropriate design so ...

Abstract: This paper presents a methodology for modeling pedestrians’ crossing behavior along an urban trip, as well as an algorithm for the estimation of accident risk along the trip. For that purpose, existing models are exploited ...

Abstract: Explaining pedestrians’ crossing behavior along entire trips may contribute toward more efficient and targeted planning of pedestrian facilities in urban areas and more accurate consideration of pedestrian safety. Although ...

Abstract: The objective of this research is the analysis of perceived highway level of service in relation to drivers’ personal characteristics and traffic conditions. A field survey was carried out for that purpose, in which drivers ...

Abstract: An existing vehicle dynamics model was used to define design parameters up to which steady-state cornering conditions apply and consequently lift the restrictions of the point mass model. Besides a passenger car, the motion ...
