Abstract Background Road Traffic injuries (RTI) are among the top ten leading causes of
death in the world resulting in 1.35 million deaths every year, about 93% of which occur in …

Run-off-road crashes are one of the most common crash types, especially in rural roadway
environments contributing significantly to fatalities and severe injuries. These crashes are …

The study aimed to model the effect of spatial relationship between adjacent curves on the
severity of curve-based crashes along with driver and crash causal characteristics, reflecting …

Expected to guarantee user comfort and safety, enable efficient traffic operations, and
simultaneously attract the minimum possible costs in construction and maintenance. The …

Run-off-road crashes are one of the most significant causes of road deaths worldwide. Given
such significant safety concerns, a number of earlier studies examined the critical factors …

Safety is an important aspect of road design. In highway geometric design, road engineers
use a two‐stage design method due to its convenience, but the available two‐dimensional …

Single-vehicle crashes are overrepresented on rural two-lane highway curves. While prior
work investigated the relationship between crash occurrence and aggregate curve …

In China, the maximum design speed of highways is 120 km/h, which first appeared in the
Highway Engineering Technical Standard (Trial) in 1951. However, vehicle performance …

Consistency and self-explaining characteristics play important roles in road safety
performance, especially at rural highway curves. This study aims to take into account the …

Three safety concerns have been identified in the conventional design consistency
assessment procedure for horizontal curves: approximation of the vehicle by the point-mass …
