Analysis and Modelling of Passing Sight Distance Using Vehicle Dynamic Response
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 ...

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 ...

Rural Roads’ Passing Sight Distance Control Along Crest Vertical Curves
InfrastructuresPassing sight distance (PSD) is a vital design element that directly imposes economic, as well as safety and operational, considerations. The provision of PSD is highly prioritized, at least for rural road sections without additional passing lanes.

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.

Sight Distance Standards Based on Observational Data Risk Evaluation of Passing [PDF]
Transportation Research Record, 2014 The paper presents an application of a reliability analysis for evaluating the risk associated with passing sight distance (PSD) standards in terms of the expected probability of noncompliance. Calculation of PSD is required to determine where drivers can safely execute passing maneuvers.

Incorporating Uncertainty into the Estimation of the Passing Sight Distance Requirements
Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, 2007 Passing sight distance (PSD) is provided to ensure the safety of passing maneuvers on 2-lane, 2-way roads. Many random variables determine the minimum length required for a safe passing maneuver. Current PSD design practices replace these random variables by single-value means in the calculation process, disregarding their inherent variations, which ...

Drivers passing cyclists: How does sight distance affect safety? Results from a naturalistic study
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 ...
