Assessing Traffic Safety of Dutch Weaving Sections: Validation of the Surrogate Safety Assessment Model combined with VISSIM

Dutch road designers and safety experts are searching for more quantitative methods to evaluate the safety of a (proposed) weaving section than the traditional methods of expert judgement and use of accident records. An alternative would be to determine safety using VISSIM micro-simulation models in combination with the Surrogate Safety...

Dilational triangulated shells using pantographs

Dilational structures are one degree of freedom structures able to change their size without changing their global shape. In this paper, we present a method to create dilational shells with arbitrary curvature. For this, we designed triangular tiles, which can be placed on a triangulation of the desired surface. We present the method and...

Assessing traffic safety of Dutch weaving sections: Validation of the Surrogate Safety Assessment Model combined with VISSIM

Nederlandse wegontwerpers en veiligheidsexperts zoeken naar meer kwantitatieve methodes om de veiligheid van een (voorgenomen) weefvak te bepalen dan de traditionele methodes die gebruik maken van expert judgement en ongevalsregistraties. Een alternatieve methode is om de veiligheid te bepalen met behulp van VISSIM micro-simulatiemodellen in...
