When should we provide separate auto and truck roadways? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The concept of the general purpose (GP) lane has dominated modern highway thinking and practice in OECD countries, especially for limited-access highways such as inter-city motorways and urban expressways, whether tolled or non-tolled.

Long‐Term Effects of Low‐Drop Grade Control Structures on Channel Evolution in the Yazoo River Basin

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Channel incision is a widespread problem, especially in river basins that have an extensive history of channel alterations. Because channel incision causes large ecological and economic consequences, the prevention of continued migration of headcuts, defined as a steep change in stream gradient over a short reach, has been the focus of many ...

Safety and Mobility Performance Comparison of Two-Plus-One and Two-Lane Two-Way Roads: A Simulation Study

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Two-plus-one (2+1) highways are a special configuration of two-lane two-way (TLTW) highways with a continuous center lane that is used to alternate passing lanes.

Differences in mammal community response to highway construction across different levels of human land use

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Worldwide, transportation agencies have been involved in road mitigation efforts to reduce road mortality and promote connectivity of endangered species. Baseline data on how mammals respond to highway construction, however, are rarely collected in road mitigation and monitoring studies, including in the USA.

Influence of horizontal alignment elements on operating speed of vehicles on two-lane highways

open access: yesFrontiers in Future Transportation
Earlier studies acknowledged that the design speed does not principally assure consistency in the design of highway geometric elements. Methodologies for estimating operating speeds are limited to specific or local traffic conditions and design standards,

Estimating passing sight distances for overtaking truck platoons – Calibration and validation using VISSIM

open access: yesInternational Journal of Transportation Science and Technology, 2022
Two-lane highways comprise a substantial proportion of the nation’s highways. One of their critical aspects is the passing sight distance (PSD), which is the minimum distance required for executing a safe passing maneuver using the opposing travel lane ...

Public Perceptions of Wisconsin’s Pavements and Tradeoffs in Pavement Improvement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Findings are reported from Phase II of a three-phase pooled-fund project in Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota to determine perceptions of drivers regarding pavement of rural two-lane highways.

A Case Report on Rehabilitation of the Asiatic Black Bear (Ursus thibetanus ussuricus) in the Wild 亚洲黑熊 (Ursus thibetanus ussuricus) 野外放归野化案例报告

open access: yesWildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Asiatic black bears in Russia face conservation threats such as habitat destruction and fragmentation, which exacerbate food shortages caused by crop failures. This study explores an innovative approach to rehabilitating bears that abandon hibernation in mid‐winter due to extreme exhaustion by providing supplemental food near their den sites.
