Traffic safety and energy efficiency of vehicles are strictly related to driver's behavior. The
scientific literature has investigated on some specific dynamic parameters that, among the …

Energy consumption and emissions of a vehicle are highly influenced by road contexts and
driving behavior. Especially, driving on horizontal curves often necessitates a driver to brake …

Horizontal curves play a critical role in roadway safety by providing a smooth transition
between tangent sections. Because radii of horizontal curves are one of the most …

Although road geometry data can be automatically collected using instruments mounted on
survey vehicle, measurement of curved ramp geometry is still of low effectiveness and …

The horizontal alignment of existing railway must be re-created and calibrated periodically to
meet the requirements of safety, stability and comfort. Most existing re-creation methods …

Cracks in road surfaces are among the most critical problems in the management of
expressways. Their sizes, which not only have severe consequences in relation to …

Investigations to identify relationships between crashes and road features usually deal with
effects of only one or two of the main components of traffic safety, ie, human, vehicle, and …

Applications that use a geographic information system (GIS) are common and useful in the
field of transportation. Horizontal curves are critical components on a roadway in their role …

A detailed knowledge of the geometric characteristics of already built roads is necessary for
various tasks related to their exploitation. However, sufficiently accurate or updated …

Maintaining an up-to-date repository of horizontal curve attributes is extremely important due
to the role curves play in the safe operation of highways. Such attributes are typically …
