Context-Sensitive Design: Issues with Design Elements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Well-designed roadways should equally consider and address safety, mobility, and community needs. The concept of context sensitive design is an emerging project development and geometric design approach that aims to meet ...
Safety Impacts of Design Element Trade-Offs for Multilane Rural Highways
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Roadway designs intend to provide a safe facility addressing mobility concerns, accommodating the physical and social environment and within financial constraints. Sometimes, trade-offs among these may be needed to deliver ...
Older Drivers and Intersection Traffic Control Devices
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper examines the relationship between accidents of elderly drivers and intersection traffic control devices. The data was analyzed in two stages, and the analyses were performed using the induced exposure method, ...
Practical Solution Concepts for Planning and Designing Roadways
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Developing a procedure that yields up to the maximum margin of return for the investment requires an approach that takes into account specific safety issues and the commensurate design elements for each roadway. Kentucky’s ...
Quantitative Analysis of State Transportation Agency’s Experience with Constructability Reviews
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The project development process aims to deliver the most appropriate roadway project given its context. Past work has shown that significant gains are realized when construction expertise is integrated early and throughout ...
Nighttime versus Daytime Horizontal Curve Design Consistency: Issues and Concerns
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Approximately 47% of fatal crashes in the US and 36% in the European Union occur during the night. Reduced sight distance may contribute to this phenomenon and similar speeds driven between day and night can become problematic ...
