Relationships Among Urban Freeway Accidents, Traffic Flow, Weather, and Lighting Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Linear and nonlinear multivariate statistical analyses are applied to determine how the types of accidents that occur on heavily used freeways in Southern California are related both to the flow of traffic and to weather ...
Tool to Evaluate Safety Effects of Changes in Freeway Traffic Flow
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This research involves the development of a tool that can be used to assess the changes in traffic safety tendencies that result from changes in traffic flow. The tool uses data from single inductive loop detectors, ...
Flyovers and High Flow Arterial Concept
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The feasibility of the development of high flow urban arterials by means of an integration of flyover technology with signal optimization is examined. Simulation results, using a modified version of the TRANSYT model, are ...
Safety of High‐Occupancy Vehicle Lanes Without Physical Separation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study addresses safety issues associated with the operation of freeway high‐occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes that are not separated by physical barriers from adjacent, general‐purpose traffic lanes. Accident frequencies ...
Classification Analysis of Traffic Improvement Sites
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Results of an application of the case study approach to the evaluation of alternate TSM strategies is presented. The procedure is useful in the classification of potential sites relative to their expected performance ...
