Verification of the existing model for passing sight distance on single two-lane rural carriageways

2015 6th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoCom), 2015
In 2012, new rural road design guidelines (RAL) has been released in Germany. They define different types of roads including different principles for passing. On new roads with a high road function level, passing is safeguarded by passing lanes. However, passing lanes cannot be recommended as a standard on each road type.

New Model for Passing Sight Distance on Two-Lane Highways [PDF]

open access: closedJournal of Transportation Engineering, 1998
The maximum permitted length of trucks in North America and other parts of the world has increased significantly over the past 20 years. This has led to concern regarding the interaction of trucks with other elements in the traffic stream. There are many highway infrastructure design criteria that need to be reassessed in light of recent evidence on ...

Assessing the Risk in the Design of Passing Sight Distances [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Transportation Engineering, 2007
Mostly, design methods in transportation engineering do not address the level of risk associated with the design and use of various highway elements. Passing sight distance (PSD) is an example of a highway operational element analyzed with no risk measures. The aim of this paper is to attach risk indexes to various PSD lengths.

Integrated Stochastic Approach for Risk and Service Estimation: Passing Sight Distance Application [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Transportation Engineering, 2012
The geometric design of highway elements is based on a set of standards that do not consider the risk levels associated with these designs. Safety elements including risk measures need to be identified and incorporated into the design process. The focus of this paper is a procedure that can be used by practitioners as a framework to conduct trade-off ...
