Speed-Profile Model for Two-Lane Rural Highways

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2000
Design consistency refers to highway geometry’s conformance with driver expectancy. Generally, drivers make fewer errors at geometric features that conform with their expectations. A proposed method for evaluating design consistency is to predict the speed along an alignment by using a speed-profile model.

Two-Lane Highways

2013
Two-lane highways, which have one lane per direction, are unique operationally, since they may allow passing through the use of the opposing traffic stream. According to the US Federal Highway Administration [1], two-lane highway facilities represent about 97 % of the total highway system and for more than 65 % of the total nonurban vehicular travel in

Operating speed models for two-lane rural highways

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Transport, 2012
Drivers 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.

Criteria for widening of two-lane rural highways

Transport Policy, 2004
Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate flow characteristics on two-lane rural highways and to develop criteria for highway widening. The study is conducted on two tracks: theoretical development of delay models and use of a simulation model to estimate the effect of certain parameters on delay and percent-time-spent-following.

Indicators of Performance on Two-Lane Rural Highways

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2008
This 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,

Safety Evaluation Process for Two-Lane Rural Highways [PDF]

, 2007
In the contest of the EU program “ Road Safety in EU: the 1997-2001 program”, the “IASP” project, proposed by the Province of Catania with the scientific support of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of University of Catania, was approved and co-funded by European Commission (DG TREN).

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.

Evaluation Method of Two-Lane Highway Green Landscape

2010 4th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering, 2010
Highway green landscape is an important part of the highway systems. Now freeway and multi-lane highway green landscape have been concerned, but two-lane highway green landscape has not been researched. Through analyzing the function of greening, this paper summarizes a research project that was to develop evaluation models for green landscape ...

Analysis of Two-Lane, Two-Way Highways

2014
The 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.
