Analysis of Stopping Sight Distance (SSD) Parameters: A Review Study
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
Stopping sight distance (SSD) is one of the important elements in geometric highway design, which relies on the two key parameters, i.e., vehicle braking characteristics and drivers' reaction time. Previous studies have ...
Optical pavement treatments and their impact on speed and lateral position at transition zones: A driving simulator study
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Transition zones are a road section where posted speed drops from higher to lower limits. Due to the sudden changes in posted speed limits and road environment, drivers usually do not adapt to the posted speed limits and ...
