Highway Spiral Curve Length Function Based on the Discrepancy between Drivers’ Natural Steering Length and Spiral Curve Length

Abstract

AbstractIf the length of the spiral curve on a highway is too short or too long relative to the drivers’ natural steering length, it increases the drivers’ operational burden, affecting the smoothness and safety of vehicle steering. Ideally, the two ...Practical ApplicationsDriving safety and driver comfort require highway designs that align with natural driving behavior. A significant discrepancy between the highway spiral curve length and drivers’ natural steering length may increase driving ...
