Operating Vehicles’ Speed Prediction Models [PDF]
Vehicle speed is one of the main factors that influence the occurrence and severity of the consequences of road traffic accidents. Operating speed can be defined, among other things, as the actual speed at which the largest number of road users drive in ...

Estimating Percentile Speeds from Maximum Operating Speed Frontier [PDF]
Most operating speed studies have focused on modeling a specific percentile speed, most notably the 85th, as a function of the road geometrics. This method has resulted in some drawbacks, such as the loss of information due to speed data aggregation, the inability to capture speed dispersion, and few references about the effects of the driving culture ...

Estimating operating speed for county road segments – Evidence from Italy
Vehicle operating speed is a crucial factor for road safety, as it strictly affects occurrence and severity of crashes. Usually, 85th percentile of the operating speed distributions (i.e., V85) in free-flow traffic condition is widely accepted as a base ...

The speed-accuracy operating characteristic [PDF]
Abstract An analysis of the relationship between speed and accuracy of performance under a wide variety of task conditions reveals a linear relationship between log odds in favor of a correct response and reaction time. This result is consistent with the conceptual logic of the statistical decision model of choice reaction time and suggests the ...

Key Factors of the Initiation and Development of Polygonal Wear in the Wheels of a High-Speed Train
The polygonal wear of train wheels occurs commonly in rail transport and increases the wheel–rail interaction force dramatically and has a bad effect on the safety and comfort of the train. The mechanism of polygonal wear needs to be studied.
