    Author(s)/Editor(s): by Jan Theeuwes (Author), Richard van der Horst (Author) | Size: 3.7 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Scanner | Publisher: Ashgate Publishing Limited | Year: 2012 | pages: 192 | ISBN: B008VTMM76

    Many books focus on individual differences and how those relate to traffic safety such as accident proneness, gender differences, age, alcohol, and the effects of drugs. Others focus on the safety effects regarding the vehicle such as airbags, anti-lock brakes, navigation systems, intelligent cruise control and other new gadgets coming to the vehicle. Even though these topics are undoubtedly important for traffic safety, this book takes a unique approach as it focuses solely on the road environment. Designing Safe Road Systems provides the background for those who want to know more about the effects of road design on driving behaviour. It uses a systems approach to allow a better understanding of why and in what circumstances drivers may commit errors. This understanding will ultimately lead to road systems that prevent (fatal) errors from occurring. The book contains an overview of the current models and theories about human performance and human behaviour in traffic that are relevant for all those involved in designing safe road systems. The central theme of this book is how design principles can reduce the probability of an error while driving. The authors demonstrate how knowledge of human factors helps a road authority to better understand how road users behave. They argue that in many cases the design of the environment can be further adjusted to human capabilities, and that safety should be considered a system property to be built into the road system.
    Editorial Reviews
    Review
    'This is a book which has proved to be a very valuable source of information for me and will certainly aid many more transport psychology/ergonomics researchers. It would not be far-fetched to say that 'Designing Safe Road Systems: A Human Factor Perspective' has the potential to act as a key reference for transport engineering or similar modules at undergraduate or postgraduate levels. It serves the need for numerous researchers to develop a systemic view of the road and in doing so explains the effects of road design on driving behaviour and uses this understanding to put forward ways to design so-called 'smart roads'.' --Ergonomics, 56:2
    About the Author
    Jan Theeuwes studied Experimental Psychology and Ergonomics at Tilburg University from which graduated cum laude in 1988. He received his PhD in 1992 from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam also with the highest honour (cum laude). He was researcher and later department head at the TNO Human Factors Institute from 1988 until 1998. He conducted human factors research on information processing in driving for government (the Dutch and US DOTs), various companies such as BMW and Volvo, and various EU projects. With Hans Godthelp he developed the concept of self-explaining roads (Theeuwes and Godthelp, 1992; 1993) which has become one of the leading principles of road design worldwide. He is an expert in visual perception, attention and eye movements. In 1999 he became full Professor Cognitive Psychology at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. He worked in various laboratories in the United States, Canada, and Germany. Jan Theeuwes has published more than 160 papers in leading scientific journals worldwide. His work has had a major impact on the research community as evidenced by an H-factor of 33. In 2001 he received the Bertelson award from the European Society for Cognitive Psychology (ESCOP) for his "outstanding contributions to European Cognitive Psychology". In 2010 Jan Theeuwes was elected member of the Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences (KNAW). Dr. A. Richard A. van der Horst is presently both senior research scientist and senior business consultant Behavioural and Societal Sciences at the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research TNO. He holds an MSc degree in Electrical Engineering and a PhD degree with the thesis 'A Time-based Analysis of Road User Behaviour in Normal and Critical Encounters', both from the Delft University of Technology. Richard's research background is in studies on human decision-making processes in traffic in relationship with the road infrastructure and other road users (signalised intersections, railway level crossings, gap-acceptance, traffic conflicts, etc). He developed a video-based analysis method enabling an objective quantification of dynamic road user behaviour in traffic. He has been working in the field of human factors in road traffic for over 36 years with a focus on evaluation and assessment of road design, traffic management and in-vehicle driver support systems in terms road user behaviour, comfort, workload and road safety. Driver modelling and development of tools and techniques for evaluating ITS applications are Richard's special interest. He is a member of several international committees on road design and human factors related topics in road traffic. These include co-chairing the TRB subcommittee International Human Factors Guidelines for Road Systems, member of two other TRB committees (Vehicle User Characteristics and User Information Systems) and one subcommittee (Digital Billboards). Richard represents the Netherlands in the ISO/TC22/SC13/WG8 TICS in-vehicle HMI standardization group. He is a member of several national advisory boards and working groups including SWOV, CROW, and AIDA. Richard has been co-author of more than 300 publications and technical reports. He was the recipient of the A.R. Lauer Safety Award of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, San Francisco, September, 2010. Dr Maria J. Kuiken is currently senior consultant Behavioural and Societal Sciences at DHV, an engineering and consulting firm. She holds an MSc degree in Psychology and a PhD degree in Psychological, Educational and Sociological Sciences with the thesis 'Instructional support to drivers: The role of in-vehicle feedback in improving driving performance of qualified motorists', both from the University of Groningen. Her research background is in studies on young drivers and strategies for behavioural interventions, i.e. educational measures and driver training. Maria has been working for 26 years in the area of road user behaviour and traffic safety. Specific research themes include cognitive task performance and user aspects of in-vehicle driver support systems, the research and development of enforcement strategies, publicity campaigns and educational programmes for specific groups of road users, i.e. vulnerable road users, young drivers, aggressive drivers. As a senior and strategic consultant at DHV, Maria performed safety evaluations, in-depth accident studies and safety audits. She applied scenario concepts to infrastructure design and contributed to the development of scenario analysis and resilience engineering as new safety engineering design tools in the domains of transport and traffic safety.

    Safe mobility is clearly linked to transport sustainability, as fatalities and injuries resulting from people engaged with transport networks increasingly becomes a public health concern, relative to other health threats. This volume presents the current state of the knowledge across a multitude of analytical and context specific transport safety areas. It includes a comprehensive set of chapters authored by many of the world's leading experts in both behavioural and engineering aspects of safety mobility.

    The book increases the level of knowledge on road safety contexts, issues and challenges; shares what can currently be done to address the variety of issues; and points to what needs to be done to make further gains in road safety.

    Review
    Civil engineers, transportation researchers, and political scientists review what is currently known about global road safety in both academic and practical realms. They cover challenges and solutions in driver behavior, transport networks, and vulnerable road users; methods for understanding and predicting safety performance; and methods for evaluating safety impacts of countermeasures. Among their topics are driver education and licensing, rural and urban intersections, real-time traffic safety and operation, time-series regression models for analyzing transport safety data, and meta-analytic methods. –Annotation ©2018 Ringgold Inc.

    Transportation Engineering Basics shows students how to use classroom knowledge to solve real-life transportation and traffic engineering problems. This comprehensive labbook addresses congestion, air pollution, transit, financing, politics, and signals. Each user-friendly chapter is designed as lab work, providing essential theory, background information, figures, tables, worksheets, and questions. Each lab is uniformly structured so that the engineering student can easily see and understand the lab's objective and the components necessary to investigate the situation.

    This updated and expanded edition includes ten new labs and incorporates changes resulting from the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA, 1990) and the Transportation Equity Act of the 21st Century (TEA-21, 1998). This legislation has provided opportunities for transportation professionals in terms of new funds and jobs; as well as set new requirements for monitoring performance and showing the benefits of a project.

    [Image: info.png]

    The 7th edition of MS-2 Asphalt Mix Design Methods marks the 56th year of continuous publication of an Asphalt Institute mix design manual. The manual is a practical guide based on proven technologies, incorporating the most current information in 2014. This edition offers significantly expanded application and guidance relative to our previous mix design manuals.  AASHTO, ASTM and other published standards are referenced often in addition to important research findings.

    This book is intended for mix designers, pavement engineers, lab personnel and others involved in asphalt mixtures. Topics are presented in the logical progression of mix design steps. Chapters 1 through 5 apply across all mix design methods; covering mix behavior, material selection, batching, specimen preparation, binder absorption, specific gravity testing, volumetric calculations, data interpretation and more. Chapter 6 covers the unique aspects of the Superpave system, while chapter 7 does the same for Marshall and chapter 8 does the same for Hveem. Chapters 9 through 11 are again generic for all dense graded mixes and design methods; covering moisture sensitivity, performance testing and the use of recycled materials. Chapter 12 discusses the many specialty type mixes utilized for unique applications and chapter 13 wraps up the manual with guidance on verifying the JMF once field production starts. Fully illustrated, 188 pages.

    An intelligent transportation system (ITS) offers considerable opportunities for increasing the safety, efficiency, and predictability of traffic flow and reducing vehicle emissions. Sensors (or detectors) enable the effective gathering of arterial and controlled-access highway information in support of automatic incident detection, active transportation and demand management, traffic-adaptive signal control, and ramp and freeway metering and dispatching of emergency response providers. As traffic flow sensors are integrated with big data sources such as connected and cooperative vehicles, and cell phones and other Bluetooth-enabled devices, more accurate and timely traffic flow information can be obtained.

    The book examines the roles of traffic management centers that serve cities, counties, and other regions, and the collocation issues that ensue when multiple agencies share the same space. It describes sensor applications and data requirements for several ITS strategies; sensor technologies; sensor installation, initialization, and field-testing procedures; and alternate sources of traffic flow data. The book addresses concerns related to the introduction of automated and connected vehicles, and the benefits that systems engineering and national ITS architectures in the US, Europe, Japan, and elsewhere bring to ITS.". Sensor and data fusion benefits to traffic management are described, while the Bayesian and Dempster–Shafer approaches to data fusion are discussed in more detail.

    ITS Sensors and Architectures for Traffic Management and Connected Vehicles suits the needs of personnel in transportation institutes and highway agencies, and students in undergraduate or graduate transportation engineering courses.

    [Image: info.png]

    This guide reviews the way asphalt mixture can be specified, with particular emphasis on the test methods used to measure performance. The advantages and limitations of the tests are described for measuring the desired property, and engineers can specify a test according to the material’s use.

    The book starts with a resume of specifications and their relative advantages and disadvantages for different situations. Then different properties are discussed in terms of: their specification; the test methods that can be used (primarily the EN 12697 suite of European methods, of which the author has been responsible for drafting); the extent to which the results predict performance; the levels that can be achieved with different asphalt mixes and types; what levels, if any, should be specified in various situations and pavement layers; and which other properties are adversely affected by enhanced performance. The final section covers various aspects of sustainability, with a strong emphasis on durability.

    Better understanding should enable clients and consultants who specify pavements to produce durable asphalt pavements more economically, and also help asphalt producers and students trying to understand the black art of asphalt.

In closing, the book offers an outlook on the role of roundabouts in future street traffic.Table of contents : Front Matter....Pages i-xivOrigins of Roundabouts....Pages 1-9First Developments of Different Roundabout Types....Pages 11-56Modern Roundabouts Design....Pages 57-116Recent Alternative Types of Roundabouts....Pages 117-155Alternative Types of Roundabouts at Development Phases....Pages 157-169General Criteria for Calculating the Capacities of Alternative Types of Roundabouts....Pages 171-183Non-motorized Participants on Alternative Types of Roundabouts....Pages 185-199Possible Ways of Roundabouts’ Development....Pages 201-206

    Highway Engineering: Planning, Design, and Operations features a seven part treatment, beginning with a clear and rigorous exposition of highway engineering concepts. These include project development, and the relationship between planning, operations, safety, and highway types (functional classification). Planning concepts and a four-step process overview are covered, along with trip generation, equations versus rates, trip distribution, and shortest path models equations versus rates. This is followed by parts concerning applications for horizontal and vertical alignment, highway geometric design, traffic operations, traffic safety, and civil engineering topics.

    Author(s)/Editor(s): Prof. Dr. Susanne Heeg & Dr. Veit Bachmann | Size: 7.3 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Original preprint | Publisher: Springer Gabler | Year: 2014 | pages: 173 | ISBN: 9783658045388 ;9783658045395

    Theory and practice of high-capacity infrastructure projects are the major focus in the development of countries in the Global South. Aiming at a more fine-grained understanding of such projects, Renard Teipelke studies the Thika Highway Improvement Project (THIP) and its outcomes in the peri-urban Northern Nairobi Metropolitan Region. The THIP is a large transportation infrastructure project that expanded the dual carriageway Thika Road into an eight-lane highway from 2008 until 2012. Based on a strategic mix of methodological approaches, such as interviews with experts in Kenya, literature research and field visits, the 'black box' THIP is opened up. In the empirical analysis, the project's idea, its design, and its implementation are studied. It is concluded that the project's outcomes are ambivalent - partly living up to the expectations of THIP proponents but not resulting in shared benefits for all concerned stakeholders due to flaws in managing the development in this peri-urban transport corridor area, thereby fitting into the Kenyan context of politics and planning.
