Analysis of Stopping Sight Distance (SSD) Parameters: A Review Study [PDF]
Procedia Computer Science, 2022 Stopping sight distance (SSD) is one of the important elements in geometric highway design, which relies on the two key parameters, i.e., vehicle braking characteristics and drivers' reaction time. Previous studies have shown higher discrepancies in the coefficients of the SSD parameters, and therefore, making it difficult for practitioners what values

A New Model of Stopping Sight Distance of Curve Braking Based on Vehicle Dynamics [PDF]
Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2016 Compared with straight-line braking, cornering brake has longer braking distance and poorer stability. Therefore, drivers are more prone to making mistakes. The braking process and the dynamics of vehicles in emergency situations on curves were analyzed.
