o The physical characteristics of the "design vehicle" (i.e.,
the largest vehicle that is likely to use the facility with
considerable frequency)
o The performance of the design vehicle (particularly
important in terms of accommodating heavy trucks in
mountainous terrain or buses and recreational vehicles in
areas subject to high levels of tourist activities)
o The acceptable degree of congestion
Vehicle Characteristics
o Weight
Pavement Depths
Maximum Grades
o Size
Lane Width
Shoulder Width
Length and Width of Parking
Lengths of Vertical Curves
Under-clearance for Vertical Curves
Kinematic Characteristics
o Air Resistance
o Grade Resistance
o Rolling Resistance
o Curve Resistance
o Friction Resistance
Dynamic Characteristics
o Rolling Resistance
o Frictional effect on moving parts of vehicle
o Frictional Slip between pavement surface and tires
Depends on speed and pavement type
Low on bituminous or concrete
27 lb/ton, passenger cars, 60 mph
High on gravel
29 lb/ton, passenger cars, 20 mph
Dynamic Characteristics
o Curve Resistance
When maneuvering around a curve, external forces act on
the front wheel producing a retarding effect on forward
motion
Depends on
Radius of curve (degree of curve)
Velocity of Vehicle

o Various Skill
o Various Perceptual Abilities
Hearing ability
Vision ability
Evaluation
Reaction
o Various Circumstances
Impaired
Fatigue
Time of Day
Driver Performance
o Visual Components
Visual Acuity
Glare Vision and Recovery
Depth Perception
Color Vision
Driver Performance
o Visual Acuity
Ability to discern objects
Sharpness with which a person can see an object
Changes with age
Affected by various factors
Contrast and brightness of object
Level of illumination
Relative motion between the observer and the object
o Optimal time for identification = 0.5 to 1.0 seconds
o Signs and Markings placed within 10 degree cone of
clear vision
Human Visual
Driver’s Cone of Vision
Driver’s Cone of Vision
Driver’s Cone of Vision
Driver Performance
o Glare recovery
Glare impairs ability to see
Recovery time increases with age
light to dark conditions → 6 seconds to adjust
dark to light conditions → 3 seconds to adjust
Direct Glare
Bright light in the field of vision
Specular Glare
Image reflected by bright light appears in field of vision
Reduce luminary brightness, Increase mounting height, Increase
background brightness
Driver Performance
o Depth perception
Ability to estimate distance function of speed
Important on two-lane highways
Passing vs. head-on collision
Human Eye ability is fundamental
Poor at estimating absolute values of speed, distance, size
and acceleration
Standard traffic control devices
Driver Performance
o Color Vision
Ability to differentiate one color from another
Color is a factor in traffic control devices
Recognition accomplished with shape and placement
Best combinations
Black and White
Black and Yellow
Reaction Time
o Psychological
Motivation, Intelligence, Attentiveness
o Attitudinal
Risk, Regulation, Impatience, Anger
o Maturity and Experience
o Fatigue, Drugs, Alcohol
o Age and Physical Disability
o Weather and Light Conditions
Traffic Characteristics
Traffic Volume and Demand
o Traffic volume
Number of vehicles passing a point on a roadway during a
specific time
Composition of traffic
Directional distribution
o Traffic Demand
Number of vehicles that desire to transverse a particular
section of roadway during a specified period of time
At the present
In the future
Various Types of Traffic Volumes
by a day by a week
by a year
Highway Capasity
o Topography
o Anticipated Operating Speed
o The adjacent land use
o The functional classification of highways
Speeds
o Design Speed
a selected speed used to determine various selected design
features of the roadway (AASHTO, 2001)
o Operating Speed
the actual speed of a group of vehicles over a certain section of
road. The 85th percentile distribution of observed speeds is the
most frequent used measure of the operating speed associated
with a particular location or geometric feature
o Posted Speed
the legal speed limit for which a section of road is signed
Speeds
Running speed
Speed at which an
individual vehicle
travels over a highway
section
Equal to the length of
highway section / time
for vehicle to travel
through the section
Design Speed, as in UU and PP
Environmental Issues
and Energy Concern
General Priciples
o Cross Drainage
Reduce erosion
Control sediment
Keep bridge abutments out of watercourses
Provide dry passage for terrestrial fauna
Minimize outlet velocity to <2.5m/s for cross drainage
o Longitudinal drainage
Limit the use of “V” drains instead use flat bottomed drains
Limit velocities to <2m/s
Specific Design Issues
o Batter Slopes
Direct overland batter flows to catch drains
Flatten batters where possible
Use batter protection treatments – erosion blankets,
grouted rock
Specific Design Issues
o Fauna Issues
Design roads to accommodate fauna passage
Arch bridges rather than culverts to allow fish passage
Use larger culverts to allow terrestrial fauna movement
Concrete barriers restrict fauna crossing – use guard rail or wire rope
Specific fauna underpasses recommended
Specific Design Issues
Specific Design Issues
o Noise Barriers
Ensure barriers take into account sight lines
Provide access to maintenance crews
Noise barriers setback from safety barriers to allow
deflection
Design barriers to consider drainage

'Road Train' Autopilot Driving System
Your car would be equipped with a navigation system that would alert you when there
was a Road Train ahead
You'd approach the train, and send a message out that you'd like to join
The road train takes control of your car, pulling close and into auto pilot--close enough
avoid enough air drag to save up to 20% in fuel consumption.
'Road Train' Autopilot Driving System
Now you sit back, kick your feet up on the dash, and wait until your stint on the
highway is through--at which point you send out a signal . . .
. . . and the automated controls widen the gap between the cars behind and in front of
you, and you take over driving controls.
