RISReview of <i>Fundamentals of Road Design</i> by Wolfgang Kühn
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Predicting Pavement Marking Retroreflectivity Using Artificial Neural Networks: Exploratory Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Providing adequate nighttime visibility to roadway users is an important consideration for state and local transportation agencies. Driving at night is less dangerous when pavement markings are easily discernable. ...
Analysis of Nighttime Driver Behavior and Pavement Marking Effects Using Fuzzy Inference System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Nighttime driving behavior differs from that during the day because of differences in the driver’s field of view. At night, drivers must rely on their vehicle headlamps to illuminate the roadway. It is essential then that ...
Factors Affecting Driver Speed Choice along Two-Lane Rural Highway Transition Zones
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Two-lane rural highways attract trips between traffic generators such as residential villages or small commercial areas and are generally uninterrupted flow facilities that provide a high level of mobility with high posted ...
Passenger Car and Truck Operating Speed Models on Multilane Highways with Combinations of Horizontal Curves and Steep Grades
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Operating speed prediction models have been proposed as a candidate method to assess design consistency on highways and streets. A significant number of operating speed prediction models exist for passenger cars on two-lane ...
Methodology to Develop Median Barrier Warrant Criteria
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Median design policies for high-speed, divided highways are investigated to assess existing median barrier warrant criteria. Safety and cost-effectiveness analyses were conducted to determine relationships between ...
Speed Prediction Models for Multilane Highways: Simultaneous Equations Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Past speed-related research has focused on the operational effects of roadway geometrics along rural two-lane highways using ordinary least-squares regression models. More recent research has focused on the association of ...
Speed and Lateral Vehicle Position Models from Controlled Nighttime Driving Experiment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Data from a controlled nighttime driving experiment along a complex, two-lane rural highway in Pennsylvania were used to investigate participant speed and lateral vehicle position. Additionally, the association of pavement ...
Effects of Traffic Characteristics and Mounting Location on the Visibility of On-Premise Commercial Signs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In recent years, there has been a movement in local government regulations toward restricting the mounting height of on-premise, commercial signing and other roadside oriented signs. This has caused some concern among sign ...
Appraisal of the Interactive Highway Safety Design Model’s Crash Prediction and Design Consistency Modules: Case Studies from Pennsylvania
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The interactive highway safety design model (IHSDM) is a suite of software analysis tools used to evaluate safety and operational effects of geometric design on two-lane rural highways. IHSDM checks existing or proposed ...
