Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study presented in this paper was to evaluate the validity of current criteria for determining advisory speeds on horizontal curves. The study also explores whather the actual posted advisory speeds follow these criteria and how do motorists comply with the posted advisory speeds on curves. This study was based on field data collected at 28 locations on two-lane highways in three states. Curve geometry, spot speeds, and ball-bank readings were measured at these locations.

Download or read book Procedures for Setting Curve Advisory Speed written by James A. Bonneson and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The procedures described in this handbook are intended to improve consistency in curve signing and driver compliance with the advisory speed. The handbook describes guidelines for determining when an advisory speed is needed, criteria for identifying the appropriate advisory speed, an engineering study method for determining the advisory speed, and guidelines for selecting other curve-related traffic control devices. The handbook is intended for use by traffic engineers and technicians who have been given the responsible charge of evaluating and maintaining horizontal curve signing and delineation devices. The procedures described in this handbook are applicable to rural highways. However, they may be useful for establishing advisory speeds for urban streets. The curve advisory speed and other curve-related traffic control devices should be checked periodically to ensure that they are appropriate for the prevailing conditions. Changes in the regulatory speed limit, curve geometry, or crash history may justify the conduct of an engineering study to re-evaluate the appropriateness of the existing signs and the need for additional signs.

Book excerpt: A critical examination of the methods used to determine advisory speeds in curves is made to justify their review. The major reasons are the following: the comfort criteria established in the 1930s is very subjective and out-dated; the rounding off rules used to determine advisory speeds cause a non-homogeneous comfort level even for equally signed curves; and the empirical construction of the graph used by the Ministry of Transportation of Quebec (MTQ). It was demonstrated, using data gathered in preliminary tests, that drivers travel at speeds well above the advisory speed. In addition, some curves are not signed at the advisory speed determined using the usual methods. This fact only adds to the reasons why dirvers do not respect advisory speed signs. Within the framework of an ongoing research project, it is proposed to develop a new method to determine advisory speeds. An option which is considered, is to determine the safe speed based on a maximum safe rate of lateral acceleration.

Download or read book Evaluation of Vehicle Speeds on Freeway-to-freeway Connector Ramps in Houston written by Anthony P. Voigt and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research project examined the speed characteristics of passenger cars and vehicles with high centers of gravity on freeway connectors to determine any discernable differences between the two vehicles types. Data to determine compliance with posted advisory speed limits and average speeds at points along connector ramps were collected on freeway connectors in Houston. Four different vehicles were driven through the curves at varying speeds while monitoring a manual ball-bank indicator as well as collecting lateral acceleration data electronically. The project determined that the general public often exceeds the posted advisory speed limits, often by more than 10 mph. While there are no seemingly discemable differences in lateral accelerations by different types of vehicles for a given speed along a curve, there may be a 5 to 10 mph difference in the driver's comfortable speed between vehicle types. The findings of this project indicate that there may be differences between the maximum comfortable speeds that drivers of heavy vehicles and passenger car type vehicles will accept for a freeway-to-freeway curve. The following conclusions confirmed by this project are applicable to freeway-to-freeway connectors and should be considered in their design, and especially in their re-design: to provide adequate deceleration and acceleration distances for tractor-trailers and other heavy vehicles, to reduce the side friction demand on trucks in the curve by developing superelevation more on the tangent, to place curve advisory speed signing with more regard to the deceleration needs of trucks. The results of this project indicate that modifying the current advisory speed setting criteria to use a 10-degree level to set a truck advisory speed and a 13-degree level for setting a more realistic passenger car advisory speed may be appropriate to more closely represent the 85th percentile speed of each vehicle on a curve.
