Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of the research were to evaluate the use of zero-length vertical curves with respect to TxDOT design practice, construction results, vehicle dynamics, and accident history, and to compare zero-length vertical curves to minimum design vertical curves (as specified by TxDOT). Researchers determined use of zero-length vertical curves using a questionnaire distributed to TxDOT personnel in all 25 districts. Seventy-one percent of the respondents had used zero-length vertical curves. In this study, 20 zero-length vertical curves and 15 minimum-length vertical curves were evaluated. Constraints limited grade change for the vertical curves to a maximum of two percent. Evaluation included surveying the roadway profile, measuring vertical acceleration, and investigating accident information. The results showed that: sight distance is not applicable to sag curves with grade changes below two percent and is applicable to crest curves with grade changes above 0.5 percent and design speeds over 100 km/h; below 0.5 percent grade change, comfort criteria for zero-length and minimum design vertical curves did not exhibit any practical difference; between 1.0 and 0.5 percent grade change, comfort criteria showed unacceptable performance for high speed tests; zero-length vertical curves were more likely to meet drainage grade requirements than were minimum design vertical curves; and accident studies did not reveal any apparent relationship to the type of vertical curve.

Book excerpt: Highway engineers, as designers, strive to meet the needs of highway users while maintaining the integrity of the environment. Unique combinations of design controls and constraints that are often conflicting call for unique design solutions. A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets provides guidance based on established practices that are supplemented by recent research. This document is also intended as a comprehensive reference manual to assist in administrative, planning, and educational efforts pertaining to design formulation

Download or read book A Guide for Achieving Flexibility in Highway Design written by and published by AASHTO. This book was released on 2004 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Context-sensitive solutions (CSS) reflect the need to consider highway projects as more than just transportation facilities. Depending on how highway projects are integrated into the community, they can have far-reaching impacts beyond their traffic or transportation function. CSS is a comprehensive process that brings stakeholders together in a positive, proactive environment to develop projects that not only meet transportation needs, but also improve or enhance the community. Achieving a flexible, context-sensitive design solution requires designers to fully understand the reasons behind the processes, design values, and design procedures that are used. This AASHTO Guide shows highway designers how to think flexibly, how to recognize the many choices and options they have, and how to arrive at the best solution for the particular situation or context. It also strives to emphasize that flexible design does not necessarily entail a fundamentally new design process, but that it can be integrated into the existing transportation culture. This publication represents a major step toward institutionalizing CSS into state transportation departments and other agencies charged with transportation project development.
