Title: Research Problem Statements, Committee on Operational Effects of Geometrics
Accession Number: 01863426
Record Type: Monograph
Abstract: One of the continuing functions of Highway Research Board Committees is the stimulation of research. One of the techniques for doing this has been to develop statements of problems known by Committee members to need research attention. Wide dissemination of these problem statements places them at the disposal of (1) a variety of officials responsible for developing and funding research programs, (2) a variety of researchers in the academic and business communities, and (3) an appropriate segment of the professionals practicing or experimenting in the areas covered. The scope of the Committee on Operational Effects of Geometrics is "geometric design as related to traffic operations and safety". The Committee members' awareness of traffic operations and safety problems leads them often to some indication of a relationship to one or more design variables. The problem statements in this Circular, therefore, may touch upon the scopes of several other committees in both Groups 2 and 3. It is for this reason that the Circular is being very widely distributed, even though some readers may have a direct interest in only a few of the statements presented.
