Roadside Design Guide
Author:
Publisher: Amer Assn of State Hwy
ISBN: 9781560510314
Category : Bridge railings
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
This document presents a synthesis of current information and operating practices related to roadside safety and is developed in metric units. The roadside is defined as that area beyond the traveled way (driving lanes) and the shoulder (if any) of the roadway itself. The focus of this guide is on safety treatments that minimize the likelihood of serious injuries when a driver runs off the road. This guide replaces the 1989 AASHTO "Roadside Design Guide."

Pages : 68
Book Description
"This synthesis will be of interest to traffic engineers in federal, state, provincial, and local transportation agencies who are responsible for the design and operation of safe and efficiency highway systems. It will also be useful to consulting traffic engineers, sign manufacturers, and vendors in the private sector who assist governmental clients in the application of changeable message sign (CMS) and other intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technology. It is an update of NCHRP Synthesis no. 61 (1979)."--Avant-propos.

ISBN:
Category : Highway communications
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
This report is a summary of some of the information that was assembled and presented in final report FHWA-TS-90-043 entitled, "Guidelines on the Use of Changeable Message Signs". This summary report focuses on matrix-type CMSs, with particular attention to the newer light-emitting signs. Although there are many types of new and emerging CMS technologies, CMSs that have actually been installed for highway applications are emphasized.

Pages : 120
Book Description
This report is intended to be a primer on the characteristics that affect the design, use and operations of changeable message signs (CMSs), and to provide guidance on the selection of the appropriate type of CMS display. Guidelines on the selection and design of CMS messages are presented in a companion report, Report No. FHWA/TX-92/1232-10 entitled "Guidelines on the Selection and Design of Messages for Changeable Message Signs". This report is an update and consolidation of the following reports: (1) C.L. Dudek and R.D. Huchingson, "Manual on Real-Time Motorist Information Displays", FHWA-IP-86-16, August 1986; (2) C.L. Dudek, "Guidelines on the Use of Changeable Message Signs", FHWA-TS-90-043, May 1991; and (3) C.L. Dudek, "Portable Changeable Message Signs at Work Zones", FHWA/TX-85/07+292-4, July 1984

Guidelines for the Evaluation of Dynamic Message Sign Performance

ISBN:
Category : Highway communications
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
The objective of this research project was to determine appropriate guidelines and methodology for evaluating dynamic message sign (DMS) performance. National literature reviews and agency surveys were conducted and synthesized for a critical assessment of the state-of-the practice in DMS performance evaluation. DMS performance metrics were established based upon data availability, time of evaluation (pre-post)), and environment of application (urban/rural). Both qualitative and quantitative DMS benefits were established with examples of associated analysis tools given and discussed. Case studies were conducted along freeway corridors where DMSs had been implemented in both urban (Houston, Texas) and rural (Amarillo, Texas) environments. The results of these case studies highlighted constraints in both data availability and appropriate analysis procedures. Final guidelines and methodology for DMS performance evaluation were produced emphasizing the limitation to assessment of both qualitative and quantitative benefits. A guidebook of DMS performance evaluation procedures was included as Appendix D in the research report.
