Analytical Method for 3-D Stopping Sight Distance Adequacy Investigation [PDF]
Journal of Civil Engineering and Architecture, 2015 The adopted 2-D SSD (stopping sight distance) adequacy investigation in current design practice may lead to design deficiencies due to inaccurate calculation of the available sight distance. Although this concern has been identified by many research studies in the past, none of them suggested a comprehensive methodology to simulate from a 3-D ...
