Operational Effects of Geometrics and Access Management: 2009
TRB’s Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2092, includes 8 papers that explore the relationship between roadway characteristics and speed variation; low-cost safety concepts for two-way, stop-controlled rural intersections; and predicting speed along horizontal curves on two-lane highways. This TRR also examines using driver steering behavior to find desirable spiral lengths for horizontal curves, the safety analysis of interchanges, collision prediction models for three-dimensional alignments of two-lane rural highways, prioritizing access management implementation, and the effects of grade on the speed and travel time of vehicles entering driveways.
