Interactive highway safety design model : Issues related to driver modeling Levinson, William H
Publication details: Transportation Research Record, 1998Description: nr 1631, s. 20-7Subject(s): Bibl.nr: VTI P8167:1631 VTI P8169:1998Location: Abstract: The Federal Highway Administration has undertaken a multiyear project to develop the Interactive Highway Safety Design Model (IHSDM), which is a set of software tools to analyze candidate highway geometric designs from a safety standpoint. The IHSDM is envisioned to contain five analysis tools or "modules": (1) policy review, (2) design consistency, (3) accident analysis, (4) traffic analysis, and (5) driver/vehicle analysis. The structure of the driver/vehicle module is reviewed, with emphasis on the driver component. Modeling issues regarding decision and control are discussed. Major issues include (1) perceptual and decision processes in planning speed and path profiles during curve approach and curve negotiation, and (2) nonlinear versus linear aspects of control.| Cover image | Item type | Current library | Home library | Collection | Shelving location | Call number | Materials specified | Vol info | URL | Copy number | Status | Notes | Date due | Barcode | Item holds | Item hold queue priority | Course reserves | |
