Traditionally, students use pencil and ruler to lay out lines and curves over contour maps for roadway geometry design. Numerous calculations of stopping sight distance, minimum turning radius, and curve alignments are required during the roadway design process in order to ensure safety, to minimize economic and environmental impacts, as well as to reduce construction costs. Students usually pe...

Pre-pumping of coal seam gas by extraction borehole is an effective measure to manage gas. The existing study concluded that the pressure relief zone roadway difficult seal, and thus sealing depth should generally exceed roadway. Based on relationship between roughness GSI, a numerical simulation was carried out with engineering background 22200 machine tunnel E8 Sixth Mine Pingdingshan Tianan ...

Based on Spatial structure of the roadway, threedimensional geometric modeling of the roadway has been studied.It is separately gived that a detailed analysis of roadway centerline modeling, roadway cross-section modeling, roadway intersection modeling and an efficient data structure. Using VC++ and openGL, a specific test was carried out.This paper introduces a relevant algorithm in which the ...

Probabilistic assessment on the code-specified impact factors of RC decks is investigated by means of a three-dimensional traffic-induced dynamic response analysis of bridges combined with the Monte Carlo simulation technique. The random variables considered in the simulation are the roadway roughness, bump height, traveling position of vehicles, vehicle running speed and axle load of three-axl...

As Se en at ITS A 2 01 3! Why Light Roadways? Among the chief reasons for installing roadway lighting, according to guidance from the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES, 2000), is the potential for lighting to contribute to improved nighttime safety. And the logic that roadway lighting provides drivers with improved visibility and in turn greater distance and longer time to respond to potent...

human factors issues associated with roadway design and operations are critical components of improving highway safety. first, the three major components of highway safety are driver behavior, vehicle safety, and roadway safety. the general philosophy in roadside safety follows the priorities of (1) remove the hazard, (2) relocate the hazard, (3) make the hazard forgiving, and (4) shield the ha...

We compare measured profiles of upper layer shear and rates of kinetic energy dissipation with the predictions of a one-dimensional turbulence model proposed by Craig and Banner (1994). Their formulation contains an unknown parameter, the "roughness length" z0, which we determine by fitting computed and observed dissipation rates. The resulting model, without further adjustment, is then used to...

Though there exist ready-made DSRC/WiFi/3G/4G cellular systems for roadway communications, there are common defects in these systems for roadway safety oriented applications and the corresponding challenges remain unsolved for years, i.e., WiFi cannot work well in vehicular networks due to the high probability of packet loss caused by burst communications, which is a common phenomenon in roadwa...
