Title: Positive Effects of Road Surface Discontinuities
Accession Number: 01131601
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The effect of road surface discontinuities on the driver is vibration and noise inside the vehicle that can be considered as a negative effect on driving comfort. This "vibrational effect" can, in some instances, be achieved intentionally to alert the driver to a potential hazard or as a traffic calming intervention. The most common "intentional" discontinuities are continuous shoulder rumble strips, centerline rumble strips, transversal in-lane rumble strips, and humps. This paper presents a state of the art discussion on these intentional discontinuities.
