This book was released on 2019 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is in the process of conducting several parallel efforts to evaluate rural highway horizontal curves. Following the adoption of the 2011 Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, district personnel are checking and updating posted curve advisory speeds and other curve traffic control devices (e.g., Chevrons) in response to the December 31, 2019, compliance date. Recent legislation has allowed regulatory speed limits to be increased to 75 mph on some rural highways, resulting in a need to check and evaluate curves that had not previously been signed with advisory speeds. There is also renewed interest in implementing pavement friction treatments through the Highway Safety Improvement Program. In this research project, researchers collected and analyzed data to extend TxDOT’s curve advisory speed setting procedures to rural multilane highways and freeways as well as two-lane rural highways with speed limits of 75 mph. Researchers also improved TxDOT’s global positioning system (GPS) -based curve measurement system’s capabilities to measure grade. Finally, the researchers drafted the Horizontal Curve Evaluation Handbook to aid TxDOT’s practitioners in using the GPS-based system for evaluating curves.

Download or read book Guidelines and Evaluation Framework for Horizontal Curve Wet-surface Safety Analysis written by Michael Paul Pratt and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers calibrated detailed safety prediction models to account for the effects of key curve characteristics, including geometry, pavement variables (particularly skid resistance), and weather patterns. Additionally, researchers developed estimates of the service life for various surface treatments that may be used to increase skid resistance. By combining safety prediction models, weather data, and service life data, researchers created guidelines and a life-cycle benefit-cost evaluation framework to assist practitioners in choosing effective safety treatments for curves. This document describes the guidelines and spreadsheet -based evaluation framework and provides analysts with a User Guide for the framework.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.

Download or read book Practical Handbook of Curve Fitting written by Sandra Arlinghaus and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1994-05-09 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical Handbook of Curve Fitting is a reference work assembled by Arlinghaus and a set of editors with well over a century of combined experience in various disciplines and activities related to curve fitting. The book demonstrates how to analyze World data bases and graph and map the results. Default settings in software packages can produce attractive graphs of data imported into the software. Often, however, the default graph has no equation associated with it and cannot therefore be used as a tool for further analysis or projection of the data. The same software can often be used to generate curves from equations. The reader is shown directly, and in a series of steps, how to fit curves to data using Lotus 1-2-3. There are traditional unbounded curve fitting techniques-lines of least squares, exponentials, logistic curves, and Gompertz curves. There is the bounded curve fitting technique of cubic spline interpolation. Beyond these, there is a detailed application of Feigenbaum's graphical analysis from chaos theory, and there is a hint as to how fractal geometry might come into play. Curve fitting algorithms take on new life when they are actually used on real-world data. They are used in numerous worked examples drawn from electronic data bases of public domain information from the Stars data base of The World Bank and from the WRD data base of the World Resources Institute. The applications are current and reflect a state-of-the-art interest in the human dimensions of global change.

Download or read book Side Friction Factors for Horizontal Curves and Guidelines for Flattening Horizontal Curves on Rural Two-lane Highways -executive Summary written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This repor describes the findings of a research project which was conducted to determine the amount of side friction demanded and provided for a range of roadway curvatures, vehicle speeds, vehicle types and pavement surfaces. Seven horizontal curves located on rural two-lane highways in Alberta were used as test sites. Investigations into the friction provided by icy surfaces were conducted at a police driver training facility. Maximum values of side friction demanded on dry and icy roadways were determined and used to calculate the margin of saety provided for different vehicle speeds. The report also includes an analysis of the cost effectiveness of curve flattening for Alberta highways.

This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a whole study of designing the horizontal curve, which consists of two phases. First phase contains the calculations of all curve elements of the four types of the horizontal curve and second phase contains the modeling of the ten methods of estimating the radius of the horizontal curve. This book is very important for surveying engineers and for transportation engineers. It helps them or choosing the right deign of roadways and horizontal curves with a high safety. Also this book discusses the development of computer software named as HCRET, which stands for Horizontal Curves and Radius Estimating Techniques. The program is written in Visual Basic-Version 6 language. The developed program deals with the calculation of all elements of the horizontal curve of the four types of the horizontal curves. The program also used for modeling of the ten methods of radius-estimating of horizontal curve. The program output is comprehensive and easy to understand, while the program input is user friendly and provided with many graphical objects to facilitate ease of use.
