An evaluation of the passing process through road - vehicle parameters assessment
European Transport Research Review, 2023 Purpose This paper investigates the interaction between vehicle dynamics parameters and road geometry during the passing process. Methodology The methodology is based on a realistic representation of the passing task with respect to roadway’s posted ...

Automated Assessment of Passing Sight Distance on Rural Highways using Mobile LiDAR Data [PDF]
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 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).

Reliability-based analysis of highway geometric Elements: A systematic review
Cogent Engineering, 2022 Conventional highway design approaches have primarily focused on the use of guidelines in the design of highways. These design guidelines provide nominal safety where conservative percentile values of the design inputs are used to account for the ...

The Potential Impact of Laser Pointers on Aviation Safety
Energies, 2022 Introduction: Although aviation is considered the safest mode of transportation, the annual number of pilots blinded by laser light cannot be understated. An analysis of the available statistics indicates that it is a widespread phenomenon.

Entropy, 2021 What do bacteria, cells, organs, people, and social communities have in common? At first sight, perhaps not much. They involve totally different agents and scale levels of observation. On second thought, however, perhaps they share everything.

Sight distance analyses in road design process: Serbian practice
Transport, 2016 New Serbian policies on road design introduce the concept of operating speeds. Decades ago, national policies were based on the constant design speed concept.

Two-Lane Highways Crest Curve Design. The Case Study of Italian Guidelines
Applied Sciences, 2020 The main purpose of the research is to evaluate the crest vertical curves radii Rv, not considering a conventional value of the opposing vehicle height h2, but the average vehicle heights h2(m) and the value of the 15th percentile of the height ...

Research on the length of passing distance in the real traffic flow
Građevinar, 2014 This paper presents research and analysis of the length of passing distance in the real traffic flow on the sections of two-way two-lane roads. Values of passing sight distance recommended by road design rulebooks and recommendations are often not ...

Effect of passing zone length on operation and safety of two-lane rural highways in Uganda
IATSS Research, 2017 This paper presents a methodology to assess the effect of the length of passing zone on the operation and safety of two-lane rural highways based on the probability and the rate of passing maneuvers ending in a no-passing zone.

Three-dimensional stopping sight distance control on passing lanes of divided highways [PDF]
European Transport Research Review, 2016 Stopping Sight Distance control of passing lanes of divided highways represents currently a discussion point among researchers. A 3-D approach to address the issue is accepted as the overall solution to the problem by both researchers and contemporary design policies.
