Normal acceleration characteristics of the leading vehicle in a queue at signalized intersections on arterial streets

Creator:

Zhu, Hong

Abstract:

Normal acceleration characteristics of passenger cars provide valuable information for various aspects of transportation engineering, including use in the geometric designs of intersections, freeway ramps, passing lanes, acceleration lanes, turning bays, or in the development of traffic simulation or fuel consumption models. However, the data used in previous studies are...
