Abstract
A two-lane highway has a high rate of head-on collisions, sideswipe collisions, crashes with an fixed object. This study was to analyze the weakness of a cross section and a horizontal curve in a two-lane highway and find countermeasures to improve the traffic operations and safety. This study evaluated the effectiveness of widening, curve flattening and superelevation, verified it with a case study and assessed the economical efficiency. This study selected the difference between tangent section operating speeds and curve section operating speeds as an evaluation index of horizontal curve section in a two-lane highway. The results indicated that curve flattening is the best way to improve the traffic safety in a two-lane highway. This study has implication that it provides the quantitative effects of curve flattening. Also directions for future study were discussed.
국도와 지방도의 2차로도로에서 정면충돌사고, 교행시 측면접촉 고정물체 충돌 사고 비율이 매우 높게 나타나고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2차로도로의 횡단면과 평면선형에 대한 문제점과 개선점을 찾아내 2차로도로의 교통소통과 안전성을 개선하는 방향을 찾고자 하였다. 이를 위해 평면곡선 구간에 대한 안전성 평가지표를 선정하여, 선형개량, 확폭, 편경사의 효과를 평가하고, 사례연구를 통해 이를 검증하고 경제성을 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 2차로도로 평면선형구간의 안전성 평가지표로 "직선부 평균주행속도-곡선부 평균주행속도 차이(
