Abstract Background Road Traffic injuries (RTI) are among the top ten leading causes of
death in the world resulting in 1.35 million deaths every year, about 93% of which occur in …

The primary aim of transportation is to facilitate movement of people and goods in a safe and
efficient manner. To meet the objectives of transportation, there are many challenges from …

In the road design process, speed variation along the road segment is an important issue to
consider in adapting road geometry to drivers' expectations. To achieve this objective, speed …

Horizontal curves have been identified as a target area for improving safety on rural two-
lane highways in Texas. This study involved the development of multinomial logit models to …

Several studies have developed operating speed prediction models. Most of the models are
based on spot speed data, collected by radar guns, pavement sensors, and similar …

The horizontal curvature and a driver's behavior on curved roads significantly affect vehicle
fuel economy. This paper describes how optimal speed profiles can minimize fuel …

Lane departures are responsible for many side-swipe, rear-end and single-vehicle run-off-
road crashes. There is a dearth of research, however, on how lane departures are impacted …

To improve highway design consistency, several studies developed operating speed
prediction models and investigated drivers' speed behavior. Most existing models are based …

The geometric design, especially the horizontal and vertical alignments, of rural two-lane
highway facilities is considered one of the most important factors affecting the quality of …

Several past studies developed acceleration/deceleration rate models as a function of a
single explanatory variable. Most of them were spot speed studies with speeds measured at …
