Calculating TIN-Based 3D Sight Distance and Its Evaluation on Drivers Free-Flow Speed

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2021
Sight distance during driving may be limited by side factors such as mountain slopes or trees and buildings in horizontal curves and by the dome of the arc in vertical curves, and the night vision also can be limited in the sag vertical curves by the ...
