Download or read book The Effect of Vehicle Length on Traffic on Canadian Two lane Two way Roads written by D. Good and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary objective of the Vehicle Weights and Dimensions Study was to improve uniformity in size and weight regulations in interprovincial trucking in Canada. Once this was achieved, it became evident that there remained a range of related issues which were in need of investigation but which were not directly addressed by this research program. The interaction of trucks with other elements of the traffic stream is such an issue. In 1989, under the sponsorship of TAC's Research and Development Council, work was carried out by a Project Advisory Committee to develop a plan for research which would address the effect of vehicle length on traffic on two-lane, two-way roads in Canada. In January, 1990, a workshop was held to review the state of research and understanding of the preceeding issues, and to identify those which remained as relevant, viable areas for investigation. Consequently, in the spring of 1990 TAC initiated Phase I of this study under the sponsorship of the Research and Development Council and the Council of Deputy Ministers Responsible for Transportation and Highway Safety with the overall goal to : Evaluate the safety and level of service effects of vehicle length on traffic on two-lane, two-way roads in Canada. In January, 1991, the Research and Development Council agreed to sponsor a working session with the project's advisory committee and selected experts in the field. The objective of this session was to decide if the project should continue with a Phase II and if so, prepare the workplan and proposal for this additional work. The following report presents : (i) a summary of the findings contained in the Technical Report; (ii) the results of the working session in light of the objectives outlined above; (iii) implications of the work performed for this project to other TAC committees; and (iv) recommendations from this project's advisory committee to TAC's Research and Development Council. As such, it should be viewed as a supplement to the 1991 Technical Report and read in conjunction with the Technical Report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents the results of an examination of the passing sight distance standards in A Policy. on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), and the current sight distance requirements for marking passing and no-passing zones cited in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Relevant findings in the available literature are summarized. The current AASHTO design standards and MUTCD marking standards related to passing sight distance on two-lane highways are described. Issues related to the current standards and practices are identified and discussed. This includes the results of a meeting of knowledgeable authorities. Finally, three experimental plans that address three selected, critical issues are presented. These include (i) an accident-based analysis of current practices, (2) a field-based observational study of passing behavior to determine the adequacy of the current standards, and (3) a field-based observational study of passing behavior to determine if the minimum passing zone length of 400 ft (122 m) implied in the MUTCD is inadequate and to determine what the minimum, passing zone length should be. These three plans may serve as a basis for future research.

Book excerpt: Program PCL is an interactive, screen-oriented, menu-driven, PC-based software package for the analysis of the effect of adding passing or climbing lanes to selected locations along two-lane rural highways. The main analysis functions choose the start and end locations of a climbing lane based on the speed differential of a heavily loaded truck; predicts the effects on level of service and average speed of adding a passing or climbing lane; and performs a cost effectiveness analysis based on reduction of delay and reduction in accidents. This programmer's manual provides a general overview of program logic and extensive documentation of the internal workings of some portions of the PCL program, including the utility module and application details.
