Download or read book Best Practice Guidelines for the Design and Application of Transverse Rumble Strips electronic Resource written by Bahar, Geni and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drivers are informed of changes in their driving environment through numerous visual warnings by way of traffic signs, signals, and vehicles ahead of them. Transverse Rumble Strips (TRS) are unique as they communicate to drivers' kinesthetic (movement) and auditory senses. The TRS design parameters and elements described in this guide incorporate the findings of extensive reviews of research and practices and are based on the operating speed of the roadway and decision sight distances as interpreted from the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) Geometric Design Guide for Canadian Roads.

Download or read book Highway Safety Manual written by and published by AASHTO. This book was released on 2010 with total page 886 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Highway Safety Manual (HSM) is a resource that provides safety knowledge and tools in a useful form to facilitate improved decision making based on safety performance. The focus of the HSM is to provide quantitative information for decision making. The HSM assembles currently available information and methodologies on measuring, estimating and evaluating roadways in terms of crash frequency (number of crashes per year) and crash severity (level of injuries due to crashes). The HSM presents tools and methodologies for consideration of 'safety' across the range of highway activities: planning, programming, project development, construction, operations, and maintenance. The purpose of this is to convey present knowledge regarding highway safety information for use by a broad array of transportation professionals"--p. xxiii, vol. 1.
