Passing behavior on two-lane highways

Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, 2010
Two-lane highways make up a substantial proportion of the road network in most of the world. Passing is among the most significant driving behaviors on two-lane highways. It substantially impacts the highway performance. Despite the importance of the problem, few studies attempted to model passing behavior.

Two-Lane Rural Highways

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2006
A series of investigations was performed in Germany to understand traffic operations on two-lane highways and to make the experiences accessible for traffic performance analysis in practice. As an initial step, traffic flow on several sections of rural two-lane highways was observed.

Estimating Performance on Two-Lane Highways

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2010
This study presents an empirical investigation into the use of a new measure, percent impeded, for estimating performance on two-lane highways. Percent impeded is a point estimate of the percentage of vehicles that are impeded by slower vehicles in the traffic stream due to platooning, a common phenomenon on two-lane, two-way highways.

Modeling duration of overtaking in two lane highways

Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, 2013
The paper attempts to reveal which factors may influence the duration of overtaking in two lane highways. Questions such as what is the duration of young male and female drivers’ overtaking activities and, given that a driver conducts an overtaking maneuver, how long will it take, are addressed using classical survival analysis.

Close-following drivers on two-lane highways

Accident Analysis & Prevention, 1997
This study was intended first to replicate, on two-lane highways, of the Evans and Wasielewski (Accident Analysis & Prevention 14, 57-64, 1982; 15, 121-136, 1983) results on the connection between close-following driving and traffic offenses and, second, to reveal reasons for close-following.

Effect of Car/Truck Differential Speed Limits on Two-lane Highways Safety Operation Using Microscopic Simulation [PDF]

Procedia, Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2012
The safety implications of car-truck speed limits have not been adequately researched for two-lane highways. On two-lane highways speed controls can have a significant effect on vehicles interactions.

Level of Safety on Two-Lane Undivided Rural Highways

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2012
Due to the great increase of congestion levels on transportation infrastructures researchers and practitioners have focused on the study of safety performance on road network to identify unsafe locations and assess the effectiveness of different countermeasures introduced at a given site to reduce unacceptable accident risk. Safety performance measures

Traffic characteristics on two-lane highway downgrades

Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, 1996
Downgrade operations are not specifically addressed in the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual procedures for two-lane highways. However, traffic operations on long steep downgrades on two-lane highways are becoming increasingly important due to increasing volumes and the higher percent of slow moving vehicles such as recreational vehicles and heavy trucks in

Safety Impact on Accesses in Two-lane Highways

Journal of Highway and Transportation Research and Development (English Edition), 2007
On the basis of substantive investigations and data collection which includes the data of highway alignment, traffic volume, and accidents, the quantitative impact of the accesses on safety performance of 2-lane highways were analyzed. The methodologies such as single- and multi-factors were used.
