Abstract:
THE RESULTS ARE PRESENTED OF A RESEARCH PROJECT DESIGNED TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE DRIVER BEHAVIOR CHARACTERISTICS EXHIBITED IN CROSSING OVER FROM ONE HIGHWAY LANE TO THE NEXT ADJACENT ONE COULD BE EVALUATED FOR GUIDANCE IN DESIGN PROBLEMS. THE METHODS USED IN THE FIELD AND IN THE STATISTICAL ANALYSIS WERE INTENTIONALLY MADE AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE IN ORDER TO ENCOURAGE SIMILAR PROJECTS ON THE PART OF HIGHWAY DEPARTMENTS WITH LIMITED RESOURCES AND PERSONNEL. THE STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE 1472 VEHICLES OBSERVED, AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 15 AND 65 MILES PER HOUR, INDICATE A REMARKABLE CONFORMANCE TO A REGULAR LAW. /AUTHOR/
