Several highway design elements are presently determined based on constraints due to
human drivers. Autonomous vehicles (AV) are expected to replace human drivers with an …

This study proposes a new computer-aided framework for virtually analyzing urban road
visibility using mobile laser scanning (MLS) data. The proposed framework compromises …

Reliability analysis has been advocated as a robust methodology to quantify the risk (known
as the probability of non-compliance, P nc) associated with design limitations such as …

This paper proposes a reliability-based framework to address the risk associated with
limitations in the Available Sight Distance (ASD) on curved highway segments considering a …

The majority of previous studies on reliability-based highway design focussed on assessing
the risk associated with only one mode of non-compliance (ie insufficient sight distance on …

Road safety is key to sustainable mobility. Rapid technological advances have allowed
several road safety-related analyses, previously performed in situ, to be conducted virtually …

Traditional Chinese villages act as the essential carriers of China's rural heritage. Such
villages are considered to retain living practices of intangible heritage through know-how …

Safety barriers limit the severe consequences to occupants of vehicles leaving the roadway
from colliding with obstacles, yet they may significantly reduce the available sight distance …

Safety-based design can be described as an approach in which safety is considered a core
design input and the safety performance of proposed designs that follow this approach can …

This thesis focuses on intersection sight distance design, which is an extremely critical
element in urban road design. Research has shown that providing adequate sight distance …
