Title:

Influence of Speed on Driving Safety in Mountainous Area Freeways Under Ice and Snow Conditions

Accession Number:

01366068

Record Type:

Component

Abstract:

Due to the danger and low efficiency of actual road testing in road safety research under severe weather and to better understand driving safety in mountainous area freeways with ice and snow, in particular to obtain a security and reasonable suggestion of speed, an experiment based on freeways of Guizhou province has been conducted in the University of Tennesee, Knoxville (UTK) simulator platform. By setting up road, traffic and environment parameters to simulate ice and snow conditions, acquire the drive data during the experiment to analysis the correlation between friction factor, visibility and speed, and then establish the regression model. These results of the paper will provide useful references for highway engineers on the appropriate standards of speed limits for mountainous area freeways.
