The most common cause of death and injury worldwide is traffic accidents. Several studies
have shown that these accidents occur primarily on rural roads, especially those with …

Safety on rural highways is of great concern as nearly two third of road fatalities are found to
take place on such roads. High speed of vehicles is the characteristic of rural highways …

The curve geometry influences the driver's speed choice behavior when passing through a
horizontal curve. Hence, speed prediction models are essential to ensure highway safety …

Achieving an effective evaluation procedure of geometric design consistency is among the
most promising strategies to increase the road safety level. Actually, it is estimated that …

Malaysia is one of the developing countries that face the highest rates of road accidents in
Asia. The most common accident happens between motorcyclist and cars. A motorcyclist is …

One of every four road fatalities occurs on horizontal curves of two-lane rural roads. To this
regard, many studies have been undertaken to analyze the crash risk on this road element …

The increase number of accidents on two lane rural highways have been linked or related
with the problem of inconsistencies on the operating speed and geometric design of …

Road safety is closely related to geometric design consistency, which is usually assessed by
examining operating speed. Most consistency models only consider passenger car speeds …

In developing countries, the crash risk on mountainous rural highways is higher than on non-
mountainous rural highways due to their complex geometric design. Thus, the consistency of …

An increase in traffic crashes can be attributed to inconsistencies in roadway geometry. The
operating speed model is a statistical tool to evaluate geometric design consistency. This …
