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 ...

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 Virtual Highway Model for Sight-Distance Evaluation of Highway Underpasses [PDF]
, 2018 When it comes to the safe design and operation of highways, sight distance is of utmost importance. The estimation of sight distance must be performed taking the three-dimensional (3D) nature of roadways and related features into account.

Analyses of maximum-speed path definition at single-lane roundabouts
Journal of Traffic and Transportation Engineering (English ed. Online), 2018 The process of designing roundabouts is an iterative process through which, in several checks, the design elements of a roundabout get optimized. Existing regulations for roundabouts involve swept path analyses, sight distance analyses and speed analyses

Extent of sight distance reductions caused by rainfall on single carriageway roads [PDF]
, 2013 The paper is aimed at probing the extent of sight distance reductions along a single carriageway road caused rainy conditions. Stopping and passing sight distances were investigated under dry weather, light, moderate and heavy rainy condition.
