Predicting Operating Speeds on Tangent Sections of Two-Lane Rural Highways

Abstract: Prediction and estimation of speeds on two-lane rural highways are of enormous significance to planners and designers. Estimation of speeds on curves may be easier than prediction of speeds on tangent sections because of the strong correlation of speeds with a few defined and limiting variables, such as curvature, superelevation, and the side-friction coefficients between road surface and tires. On tangent sections, however, the speed of vehicles is dependent on a wide array of roadway characteristics, such as… Show more

“…The new models are applicable to both curves and tangents, addressing the concerns raised by Polus et al (2000) and Fitzpatrick et al (2000a) about the need for additional research on tangent speeds. Thus, the model may support design consistency evaluation in Portugal, providing an alternative procedure in the national guidelines (JAE, 1994).…”

“…En algunos estudios se ha planteado una relación entre la velocidad de operación y la longitud de la recta (Polus et al, 2000), aunque no se ha generalizado su estudio. En estos casos, la relación es de tipo logarítmico, con un fuerte crecimiento para las longitudes más pequeñas y una moderación paulatina de la velocidad a medida que la longitud aumenta.…”

“…Uno de los estudios más importantes relacionados con la incorporación de las características de las curvas anterior y posterior en la determinación de la velocidad de operación de la recta es el desarrollado por Polus et al (2000). En este estudio se desarrolló una nueva variable: geometric measure, con diferente definición para rectas independientes o dependientes, separadas estas también por un umbral calibrable.…”
