A validation of the Oregon State University driving simulator

Creator:: Brown, Lacy S.
Abstract:: Driving simulation is widely accepted as a safe, effective, and economical alternative for investigating driver behavior in a variety of contexts. However, in order to apply simulator-based research results to real-world settings, the performance measures acquired through simulated driving experiments must first be validated. This research was aimed at validating...

Assessing the Impact of Three Intersection Treatments on Bicyclist Safety

Creator:: Scott-Deeter, Logan K..
Abstract:: Bicyclist safety at urban intersections is a critical element for encouraging an increase in bicycle commuting. With bicycle injury and fatality rates rising due to collisions with vehicles at signalized intersections, increasing the safety of riders continues to be an important consideration when promoting this mode of transportation. Previous research...

Optimal sensor placement for measuring operating speeds through curves on rural two-lane highways

Creator:: Mecham, Megan E.
Abstract:: Operating speed is one of the best performance measures that can tell transportation agencies how well or how poorly the transportation system is functioning. Fluctuating operating speeds often mean there is a design flaw or something about the physical road design that violates drivers' expectations. A primary example of this...

Design and fatigue behavior of near-surface mounted CFRP bars for shear strengthening of RC bridge girders

Creator:: Johnson, Brandon Ang
Abstract:: Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials are emerging as an effective means of strengthening and rehabilitating bridges. Near surface mounting (NSM) is a newer technique for application of CFRP for retrofitting of bridge members that provides advantages over conventional strengthening techniques. The technique is still new and uncertainties remain regarding...

Using the predictive method in the 2010 Highway Safety Manual to identify hazardous intersections in Corvallis, OR

Creator:: Zhou, Yanfen
Abstract:: An intersection, due to its vehicle and pedestrian conflict movements, experiences complex traffic situations that might contribute to crashes. In the city of Corvallis, OR, historically more than 80% of the total crashes have occurred within an intersection or have been designated as intersection-related. It is important to develop a...

Developing safety performance functions for 4-leg single-lane roundabouts based on Oregon data : a case study

Creator:: Zheng, Jianfei
Abstract:: Roundabouts have become an alternative for traditional intersections due to the safer operational performance. Previous research has provided crash modification factors (CMFs) as a criterion based on before-after studies as to evaluate the safety performance of roundabouts. One drawback of assessment based on crash modification factors, however, is that a...

Fuzzy logic for improved dilemma zone identification : a simulator study

Creator:: Moore, Derek
Abstract:: The Type-II dilemma zone refers to the segment of roadway approaching an intersection where drivers have difficulty deciding to stop or proceed through at the onset of the circular yellow (CY) indication. Signalized intersection safety can be improved when the dilemma zone is correctly identified and steps are taken to...

Influence of Uncertainties in Terrestrial Laser Scanning on Structural Reliability and Bridge Load Rating

Creator:: Loving, Carly K.
Abstract:: To ensure the safety of the nation’s bridges, the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) require all bridges to undergo routine load rating analyses to assess their structural capacity. Accurate geometric information for each structure is necessary for load rating analyses. This information is typically ascertained from as-built plans. Still, when...

Evaluation of Cycling Behavior: Factors that Influence Bicyclists’ Comprehension, Comfort, and Stress

Creator:: Cobb, Douglas P.
Abstract:: Travel demand has increased due to population growth, increase of vehicle ownership, and development patterns resulting in greater levels of congestion, pollution, and crash frequency. One approach to demand management is to increase the share of trips made by bicycles. With the increase in bicycling rates, there is a critical...

Transportation Infrastructure to Support Bicycling in Dense Urban Environments : Design and Operational Considerations for Bicycle Lanes in Proximity to Commercial Vehicle Loading Zones

Creator:: Ghodrat Abadi, Masoud
Abstract:: While sophisticated plans have been adopted nationally and globally to increase bicycling’s share of daily commutes, safety concerns have negatively impacted targeted bicycling growth. Specifically, truck traffic plays a pivotal role in bicyclists’ perceptions of safety and comfort, because of the severe consequences of bicycle-truck collisions. Several types of engineering...
