Deceleration lanes are important because they help drivers transition from high-speed lanes
to low-speed ramps. Although they are designed to allow vehicles to depart the freeway …

Highway diverge areas are often characterized by high crash rates. Worldwide, geometric
design guidelines propose deceleration lanes with a parallel or tapered layout to promote a …

This study investigated the driving performance of drivers exiting from the highway under
various geometric deceleration lane conditions. Specifically, the effects of different …

This study aims to validate the use of the fixed-base interactive driving simulator of the
University of Rome Tre in analyzing the driving performance on deceleration and …

The research project aimed at validating the interactive fixed-base driving simulator of the
Interuniversity Research Center for Road Safety (CRISS) to enable its use for design of …

Acceleration lanes provide access to freeways with the aim of improving traffic flow
conditions and safety. Therefore, provision of an appropriate entrance ramp and …

Typically, deceleration speed-change lanes (SCLs) and exit ramp terminals on freeways are
designed to allow vehicles to depart the freeway safely and efficiently. Freeway diverge …

Until now, the findings of impacts of deceleration lane lengths on safety were not quite
consistent or were even contradictory. A comprehensive study was needed to have a better …

Entry and exit areas are considered critical parts of freeways and expressways. In order to
meet traffic safety and operation requirements, it is important that ramps and speed-change …

Deceleration lanes improve traffic flow by reducing interference, increasing capacity and
enhancing safety. However, accident rates are higher on these interchange segments than …
