Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motor vehicle accidents were analyzed as related to highway classes and design elements to determine accident rates for these classes and elements. A one-year study was conducted to determine the accident and severity rates for various highway types and ADT's. A two-year study was undertaken after the completion of the first phase to extend the accident and severity rates to specific geometric roadway features.

Download or read book How to Make Two lane Rural Roads Safer written by Ruediger Lamm and published by Witpress. This book was released on 2007 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When accidents happen, drivers are blamed for the mishap. When drivers consistently fail at certain locations, it then becomes obvious that the problem lies not with them, but with the geometry of the road itself. Because accidents are not evenly distributed throughout the road network, locations with high accident rates are a clear indication that there are other factors involved, besides driver error, which are characterized by the road itself. In most countries, two-lane rural roads make up about 90 percent of rural networks and they account for over 60 percent of highway fatalities worldwide, approximately 500,000 people per year. The methodology described in this book will support the achievement of quantified measures of: design consistency; operating speed consistency; and, driving dynamic consistency. The safety criteria are then combined into an overall safety module for a simplified general overview of the safety evaluation process. The authors also encourage the coordination of safety concerns with important economic, environmental and aesthetic considerations. This book will be an invaluable aid to educators, students, consultants, highway engineers and administrators, as well as scientists in the fields of highway design and traffic safety engineering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various methods of assessing noise, loudness, and noise annoyance are reviewed and explained; sources, types, and intensities of traffic noise are noted; typical means of abatement and attenuation are described; design criteria for various land uses ranging from low-density to industrial are suggested and compared with the results of previous BBN and British systems for predicting annoyance and complaint; and a design guide for predicting traffic noise, capable of being programmed for batch and on-line computer applications, is presented in form suitable for use as a working tool. A flow diagram describes the interrelationships of elements in the traffic noise prediction methodology, and each element is discussed in detail in the text. The text is presented of a tape recording that takes the listener through a series of traffic situations, with such variables as traffic distance, flow velocity, distance, outdoors and indoors, and presence or absence of absorbers and attenuators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: he objective of this study is to examine prevailing rural design standards to determine their economic justification. This would evaluate in depth the cost of some of the most significant design practices (for example, roadway and shoulder width and surfacing type). Resulting user benefits, such as operating, accident and time savings would be weighed against the cost of individual features. In addition to the analysis of the user-benefit relationships, the economic and social consequences to local residents, businesses and communities should be studied and a suitable means of including them in the reckoning of warranted levels of improvement should be found.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National statistics indicate that fatality rates on rural Federal-aid primary highways have been significantly higher compared to those for urban and rural Interstate highways and urban primary highways. Although this group of highways includes two-lane rural roads, an important component of the rural Federal-aid primary highways are multilane rural highways. More than 56 000 km of arterial highways in the United States are multilane, non-Interstate roads in rural areas. Many previous studies have been conducted regarding the safety effects of various traffic and geometric roadway features. The majority of these studies were concentrated on rural two-lane roads. There have also been a few notable studies that investigated roadway crosssection design elements for suburban highways and urban streets. However, there has been limited research on the safety effects of geometric design features on rural, multilane, nonfreeway highways. This study examined the effects of various cross-section-related design elements on accident frequency and developed an accident prediction model for rural, multilane, nonfreeway highways.
