Sight distances at unsignalized intersections: a comparison of guidelines and requirements for human drivers and autonomous vehicles [PDF]
Archives of Transport, 2021 Many traffic accidents are caused by unforeseen and unexpected events in a site that was hidden from the driver's eyes. Road design parameters determining required visibility are based on relationships formulated decades ago.

Reliability of stopping and decision sight distance at roundabouts [PDF]
, 2021 The existing Stopping Sight Distance (SSD) and Decision Sight Distance (DSD) design methods for roundabouts are deterministic. This means that all of the design variables are predetermined, fixed values. This study presents a probabilistic method for the determination of SSD and DSD at roundabouts based on the equation recommended by the American ...
