Accident Analysis of a Two-Lane National Highway in India
SAE Technical Paper Series, 2015<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Road accidents and persons killed in India have been reported to the tune of 4,90,383 and 1,38,258 respectively during 2012. On National Highways (NHs), major share of accidents (about 29%) and number of persons killed (35.3%) are observed out of total accidents.

Measurement of level of service for two-lane rural highways
Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 1982Rural highway capacity, level of service, and other planning criteria are based on outdated information from the United States where the operating environment and traffic conditions are often quite different from those in Canada. Much of the information on rural two-lane highway overtaking and capacity in the 1965 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) can be ...

Study of Long Combination Vehicles on Two-Lane Highways
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 1998In 1988, the Council of Ministers of Transportation and Highway Safety in Canada endorsed a memorandum of understanding designed to improve uniformity between provinces and territories. The regulations covering weights and dimensions for tractor-semitrailers and double combination trucks specified a maximum length of 23 m.

Passing Activity on Two-Lane Highways in Spain
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 1999Presented in this paper are the results of research on passing activity on two-lane highways in Spain. The data were gathered on three highways in the province of Madrid, Spain (M-111, M-600, and M-607). Measurements were carried out in 3-h periods, on plain or slightly sloping ground, and for daily or weekly peak periods. The average daily traffic and

Cost of Driving Comfort and Convenience for Two‐Lane Highways
Journal of Transportation Engineering, 1989Described in this paper is the development and calibration of a proposed model for estimating the cost of comfort and convenience related to driving on two‐lane highways. The starting point for the model presented here was an earlier study which showed that the traditional cost factors and variables, when employed with the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual ...

Passing lane optimum length on two-lane highways
Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 2019An investigation into the optimum length of passing lanes on rural two-lane highways is presented in this paper. A passing lane is a short length of added lane to improve passing opportunities on two-lane two-way highways. The study utilized field data and traffic simulation in this investigation, with field data primarily used in calibrating and ...

Highway Alignment Parameters Design and Capacity Analysis on Two-Lane Highway
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2014A two-lane highway is an undivided highway with only one lane of traffic in each direction. Two-lane highways are one of the most common roadways at mountainous areas in China. Due to the wider range to choose the horizontal and vertical curves in the design of two-lane highways, the combination of both leads to larger differences on two-lane highway ...

Drivers’ Irrationality in Evaluating Risks on Two-Lane Highways
Journal of Transportation Safety & Security, 2012Head-on collisions on two-lane rural highways might result from failed passing maneuvers. This article investigates the hypothesis that drivers do not always estimate the required passing gap correctly, and their decision to overtake is made under a particular, even if small, probability that a crash will occur; this is the associated risk.

Probability of Landslide Impact on Vehicles on Two-Lane Highways
2015The vulnerability displayed by lineal infrastructures, such as highways, is of special concern inside the existing landslide risk assessment methodologies. Their construction often implies the creation of cut slopes with a steeper angle than that displayed by the same material on natural slopes.

Kinetics of segregation in a two-lane highway traffic flow
Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 1996Summary: A particle-hopping model is presented to simulate the segregation of cars on a two-lane highway which consists of a slow lane and a fast lane. The changing of cars between the slow and fast lanes is taken into account. When a fast (slow) car overtakes (is overtaken by) a slow (fast) car on the slow (fast) lane, the fast (slow) car shifts to ...
