Analysis and Modelling of Passing Sight Distance Using Vehicle Dynamic Response [PDF]
IEEE Access, 2023 Passing Sight Distance (PSD) is pivotal for two-lane undivided highways, impacting their safety and operational performance. However, current PSD standards and models are based on simplistic assumptions and do not consider road characteristics and ...

Estimation of passing sight distance required for operation of truck platooning on two-lane highways in North America [PDF]
IATSS ResearchThe most well-known benefits of heavy commercial vehicle (HCV) platooning include fuel savings and emission reductions. In addition, HCV platooning under SAE automation level 4 or 5 can mitigate the truck driver shortage in North America by eliminating ...

Analytical Model for Passing Sight Distance Design Criteria of Two-Lane Roads in Sri Lanka [PDF]
Transport and Telecommunication, 2018 For a safe overtaking manoeuvre on two-lane highways, drivers need a sufficient sight distance along the roadway, but it depends on the traffic environment.

Drivers passing cyclists: How does sight distance affect safety? Results from a naturalistic study [PDF]
Journal of Safety Research, 2023 Cycling is popular for its ecological, economic, and health benefits. However, especially in rural areas, cyclists may need to share the road with motorized traffic, which is often perceived as a threat. Overtaking a cyclist is a particularly critical maneuver for drivers as they need to control their lateral clearance and speed when passing the ...

Determining Passing Sight Distance on Upgraded Road Sections over Single and Platooned Heavy Military Vehicles [PDF]
InfrastructuresAlthough truck platooning enhances transportation efficiency, reduces fuel consumption, and lowers freight transport costs, it can also create limited overtaking opportunities, potentially leading to risky overtaking maneuvers. The present study examines

International Journal of Transportation Science and Technology, 2022 Two-lane highways comprise a substantial proportion of the nation’s highways. One of their critical aspects is the passing sight distance (PSD), which is the minimum distance required for executing a safe passing maneuver using the opposing travel lane ...

Evaluation of Dynamic Passing Sight Distance Problem Using a Finite-Element Model [PDF]
Journal of Transportation Engineering, 2008 Sufficient passing sight distance is an important control for two-lane rural highway design to minimize the possibility of a head-on collision between passing and opposing vehicles. Traditionally, passing zones are marked by checking passing sight distance that is potentially restricted by static sight obstructions.

Automated Assessment of Passing Sight Distance on Rural Highways using Mobile LiDAR Data [PDF]
Transportation Research Record, 2021 Providing sufficient Available Sight Distance (ASD) that meets the minimum design requirements is crucial for highway safety. Previous work on sight distance assessment focused on Stopping Sight Distance (SSD) with little attention given to Passing Sight Distance (PSD).

Application of passing sight distance in road design
International Conference on Road and Rail Infrastructure, 2018 The regulations determine the minimum length of passing sight distance as the function of design speed. Researches have confirmed that passing sight distance has a positive impact on capacity for relatively low traffic volume. Recent researches show that the definition of passing capabilities as percentage of zones with forbidden passing (no passing ...
