Lane change has been recognized as a challenging driving maneuver and a significant
component of traffic safety research. Developing a real-time continuous lane change …

In the last several years, the focus of traffic safety research—especially when performed in
association with the automotive industry—has shifted from preventing injury during a crash …

Unintentional lane departures on straight roads cause many road fatalities each year. The
objective of this study was to explore and model drivers' recovery steering maneuvers in …

Horizontal curves of rural roads are accident-prone segments of the route. Sharp curves,
steep slopes, and reduced visibility due to the mountainous environment greatly affect the …

Microscopic traffic simulation models have been widely used by transportation planners and
engineers for conducting various road network planning and traffic engineering tasks. Due …

The SHRP 2 NDS project was the largest naturalistic driving study ever conducted. The data
obtained from the study was released to the research community in 2014 through the …

Horizontal curves tend to be associated with a disproportionate number of severe crashes.
Roadway departure crashes are the most frequent crash types on horizontal curves and are …

The goal of this study was to examine driver performance under different combinations of
horizontal and vertical alignment in rural two-lane roads. The SHRP2 roadway information …

The object of this research was to use naturalistic driving study data (NDS) to determine
where drivers begin reacting to the presence of a curve. Understanding where drivers begin …

The placement of vehicle within a curve is a crucial factor with regards to safety as it
influences its frictional requirement. The lateral placement of vehicle can be defined as the …
