Effect of weather on free-flow speed Kyte, Michael et al
Publication details: Transportation Research Record, 2001Description: nr 1776, s. 60-8Subject(s): Bibl.nr: VTI P8167:1776Location: Abstract: The effects of poor weather conditions on free-flow speed on a rural Interstate freeway are considered. It was found that free-flow speed is affected by pavement conditions, visibility, and wind speeds. It is also suggested that poor weather conditions occur with some degree of frequency in a number of U.S. cities and that the effects of poor weather should be considered in such cases as part of capacity and level-of-service analyses.| Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | |
