Speed Variability on Rural Two-Lane Highways
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 1999A better understanding of speed variance on rural two-lane highways may assist in addressing driver error associated with highway geometric elements. Previous research has identified a direct relationship between speed variance and accident potential. Speed variance increases are associated with an increase in accidents.

Indicators of Performance on Two-Lane Rural Highways
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2008This paper presents an empirical investigation into performance indicators on two-lane rural highways. Field data from four study sites in the state of Montana were used in this investigation. Six performance indicators were investigated: average travel speed, average travel speed of passenger cars, average travel speed as a percent of free-flow speed,

Uncertainty in Operational Analysis of Two-Lane Highways
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2002The Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 2000 provides methods to estimate performance measures and the level of service for different types of traffic facilities. Because neither the input data nor the model parameters are totally accurate, there is an element of uncertainty in the results.

Impact of highway consistency on capacity utilization of two-lane rural highways
Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 1999Consistent highway design is expected to provide safe, economical, and smooth traffic operation. Several studies have been performed to investigate the effect of highway consistency on traffic safety. However, the relationship between design consistency and highway capacity and level of service has not been addressed in current research work and ...

Analysis of Two-Lane, Two-Way Highways
2014The 1950 HCM [1] recognized the critical interaction between directional flows on a two-lane, two-way rural highway. Because of this, in 1950 and 1965, the models for two-lane highways dealt with both directions simultaneously.

Impact of Infrastructure Characteristics on Road Crashes on Two-Lane Highways
Traffic Injury Prevention, 2005The main purpose of this study is to estimate and quantify the contribution of the infrastructure to highway crashes and to develop an infrastructure coefficient, that represents the overall characteristics of the highway and could be used as an independent variable in a crash-prediction model.The infrastructure is defined in this study as the highway ...

Operating speed models for two-lane rural highways
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Transport, 2012Drivers adapt their driving to the conditions that they find. When the design corresponds to what a driver hopes to find, the route is consistent. This diminishes the likelihood of drivers making errors and carrying out uncertain manoeuvres. Most evaluations of highway geometric design consistency are based on the analysis of vehicles' speeds.

Evaluation of the Passing Process on Two-Lane Rural Highways
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2000The main purpose of this research was to develop models to quantify the major components of the passing process. A second goal was to compare the results with existing highway-design models and to arrive at conclusions about the applicability of the existing models.
