Predicting Operating Speeds of Passenger Cars on Single-Carriageway Road Tangents
InfrastructuresThis research addresses the challenge of predicting operating vehicles’ speeds (V85) on single-carriageway road tangents. While most previous models rely on preceding segment speeds or focus on curves, this research develops an independent prediction ...

Predicting Operating Speeds of Passenger Cars on Dual–Carriageway Road Tangents
Promet (Zagreb)This research develops multiple linear regression models for predicting operating speeds (V85) of passenger cars on dual–carriageway road tangents in Croatia, separately for the right (driving) and left (overtaking) lanes.

ROCA - An ArcGIS toolbox for road alignment identification and horizontal curve radii computation.
PLoS ONE, 2018 We present the ROCA (ROad Curvature Analyst) software, in the form of an ESRI ArcGIS Toolbox, intended for vector line data processing. The software segments road network data into tangents and horizontal curves.

Operating speed models for tangent segments on urban roads
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2017 Information about operating speeds is essential to design better roads, model traffic emissions, ensure design consistency while maintaining efficient and safe operations on our roads. Therefore, understanding how different factors affect operating speeds and developing operating speed prediction models is a critical research issue.

Eastern-European Journal of Enterprise Technologies, 2022 This paper considers the task to clarify the circumstances of a traffic accident (TA) involving two vehicles as a result of their lateral tangential collision at low angles. The aim of the study is to construct a mathematical model of a tangential collision of vehicles for the reconstruction of TA circumstances.

Journal of Advanced Transportation, 2021 Several past studies developed acceleration/deceleration rate models as a function of a single explanatory variable. Most of them were spot speed studies with speeds measured at specific locations on curves (usually midpoint of the curve) and tangents to

Speed Factors on Low-Volume Roads for Horizontal Curves and Tangents
The Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 2010 Many studies on driver speed behavior are found in the scientific literature today, and various researchers have addressed roadway alignment consistency for travel safety in context with current operating speeds. Experimental analysis was conducted on low-volume roads in Southern Italy without spiral transition curves between geometric tangent and ...

Operating speed as a key factor in studying the driver behaviour in a rural context
Transport, 2016 The research aims to explore the effects of geometric road features on driver speed behaviour in order to identify unsafe road segments where high reductions in speed between successive road elements occur.
