A Review of Highways Geometric Design to Ensure Road Health and Safety

2021, International Journal of Scientific Engineering and Science

The amount of Highway accidents that has resulted to death and fatal injuries and incapacitation is a call for concern. While some of the causes of these accidents have been attributed to negligence and poor driving, some has been attributed to failure of certain aspects or factors during the geometric design process. Analysis and proposals have been given on how to limit road accidents and injuries and thus make an important contribution to road safety. Through literature, this paper has tried to identify the problems of road health and safety which could be solved using engineering principles. Current standards of highway design are focused on the enhancement of the safety of the road users, their comfort and convenience and making endeavours to meet up with the health and safety needs and societal mobility. During the highway design process, problems such as economic, managerial and construction problems are usually encountered. Some of the tools use in solving some of the problems are reviewed here. This paper duel on two major issues that could be duel on to ensure safe roads. These two major aspects are: the engineering aspect of safe road infrastructure design and the enhancement of road safety from the engineering perspective. A systematic approach to establish safety principles of engineering and traffic management is discussed and highlighted that the detail analyses of accidents for the identification of main problems form an essential part of engineering for safety. It identifies the main road problems that contributes to road accidents and advice on what need to be done by stakeholders when developing strategies and policies and designing safe roads to eliminate accidents and injuries. The paper highlight that the making of safe highways or roads is a shared responsibility between the designers/operators of the road system and the road users and point out the factors that can form a safe system and how a sustained improvement in road safety can be delivered. The paper presents the Key Elements of Safe Road Infrastructure Design.

Road safety issue has been the subject of study for many years and with each passing day transportation engineering expands this research area since it is a social matter of absolute priority. The expression road safety is frequently used in the current vocabulary of road users (as drivers or pedestrians), and road professionals (as technicians, designers or managers), given that

Three safety criteria for evaluating curved roadway sections including transition sections were analyzed in order to address these important target areas for reducing accident frequency and severity. These criteria are (a) achieving consistency between successive design elements ; (b) harmonizing design speed and operating speed, especially on wet pavements ; and (c) providing adequate dynamic safety of driving. The above safety criteria constitute the core of the overall safety module proposed in this study for classifying road networks or roadway sections (or both), existing or planned, as good, fair, or poor designs. The evaluation process of the safety module, encompassing separate evaluation processes for each of the above safety criteria as well as for the combination of all three criteria, can be done manually by using the Geographic Information System known as SPANS. By using discriminating colors or symbols with SPANS, the resulting separate or combined design safety levels...

Improving road safety has been the key objective for road authorities worldwide for the last years. Lately, many concepts were adopted to reduce the number of fatalities, concepts like self-explaining roads, low cost measures or forgiving roads. As new research findings are published, differing theories evolve and road safety visions change. Nowadays, around 30% of accidents on the entire EU road network are caused by inadequate infrastructure. The way roads are laid out and designed can reduce the exposure to traffic of vulnerable road users, reduce the probability that crash and injury occur when these users are exposed and reduce the severity of injury if it occurs. Substantial and sustainable casualty reductions can be achieved in relatively short time and at relatively short cost by identifying and treating high risk infrastructure sites, creating safer and forgiving roads. The aim of this paper is to improve traffic safety by increasing the awareness of road authorities, in order for them to implement road safety measures following the concepts of forgiving roadsides and taking into consideration the human factors also.

Transport infrastructure plays a vital role in the economy, the presence of quality of road infrastructure. India has one of the largest road networks with about 47 lakh km. of roads. The total expenditure is estimated at Rs. 64,900 crores in (2017-18) allocations for road infrastructure. This is 24% higher than the revised estimates for (2016-17). Highest allocation towards roads and bridges at 63%, this is towards the allocation of national highways authority of India. The requirement of safety measures and traffic signs are very necessary on the roads for safe and efficient movement of traffic, but before it the road conditions also plays a vital role. The road infrastructure should be well planned. The study focuses on the requirements of road infrastructure that should be adopted at national highway that connects with many other local roads while passing the city area. The vehicular survey is to be done which will decide the road LOS (level of service) and vehicle volume count. Then there will be design the traffic lights and safety measures at the required points. New roads are planned, designed and operated according to safety standards such as: Provide safe road infrastructure for all road users, Accessible and safe pedestrian overpass and underpass in risky areas. The process used to conduct such kind of study included lumpsum of traffic police data, making interaction with the people in order to known perspective of the people towards safety and also making close watch for fleet and pedestrian turn around.

A global report on road safety published by World Health Organization in 2015 showcases that 1.25 million people die every year due to road accidents. Almost 91% of victim on road belong to low income and middle income countries which cater only half of world’s vehicles. The report also predicts that by 2020 road accidents will be the 3rd greatest cause of death which will rise from 1.2 to 2 million people annually in the coming years. India’s road network is the second largest road network of the world consisting approximately 33 lakh kilometers. Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Government of India reports the number of deaths due to road traffic crashes was estimated to be 1,46,133 in 2015. Whereas in 2014 the number of fatalities were 1, 39, 671. The Ministry has further fixed a sanction ceiling of 600 rupees crore for taking up Road Safety works on national highways for the year 2016-17. Considering on the measures already taken by various countries across the globe to cater the issue of road safety, India faces the challenge to strategize and develop better safety practices. To deal with road safety several European countries have already shown examples of successful preventive measures and guidelines. Road safety can be an important aspect in planning process. The research paper aims to address the issue of road safety on national highways in India and develop recommendations for safer roads considering the best practices across the globe which have successfully curve road fatalities.

Road design with focus to safety has been extensively developed in last decades in Nordic and some other EU countries with the main aim to achieve a decrease in a number of accidents and fatalities on the roads. These countries gained many valuable experiences, but they had to sacrifice great effort, expenses, and time to reach the present art-of-state. The purpose of the Master’s Thesis is to review some design approaches with focus to safety and discuss the general way that they may be applied.

The Master’s Thesis studies safety in three levels: (i) general - design standards, national safety policies and road hierarchy; (ii) local authority and road administrator; and (iii) three specific safety countermeasures - junctions, pedestrian crossings and traffic calming.

The first part of Master’s Thesis describes the general road design standards background and their art of state. Furthermore, it discusses the new approaches in road design standard such as Dutch classification of road standards. Safety policies and programs are discussed and the concept of human imperfection is explained. Road safety policy and road hierarchy in Sweden and Denmark is described.

The second part is devoted to the planning process on local authority and road administrator level. The phases of planning process are described. Special attention is paid to ranking process when choosing most effective countermeasures, next to black spot programs and also to public attitudes to safety countermeasures.

The focus of the last part is in specific designs for safer road environment. There are discussed three groups of road facilities and countermeasures; unctions, pedestrian crossings and traffic calming. The cost, effectiveness, suitability, possible side effects and other properties of individual types of countermeasures are discussed.

Zero traffic deaths by 2030? Put more emphasis on law enforcement

The recent spate of horrendous collisions and nose-thumbing at rules should prompt some serious thinking around the laudable state and local goals of no traffic deaths in six years.

It’s not always the roads. Sometimes it’s the drivers.

And, as with so many other signs of societal stress, it comes down to a lack of law enforcement and weak consequences for behaviors that put the entire community at risk.

Consider the case of 18-year-old Chase Daniel Jones, charged with four counts of vehicular homicide after he drove his Audi A4 at 112 mph into a Renton intersection on March 19, killing Andrea Hudson, 38, along with three children of close friends who were passengers in her car: Boyd Buster Brown, 12; Matilda Wilcoxson, 13; and Eloise Wilcoxson, 12. Two of Hudson’s children were severely injured and were hospitalized in intensive care.

It was the third vehicle Jones totaled in a crash involving excessive speed in less than a year, according to charging documents filed by the King County Prosecutor.

For all this, the court set Jones’ bail at $100,000. Prosecutors had asked for $1 million.

Then there is Miles Hudson, aka “Belltown Hellcat,”recently charged by the Seattle City Attorney’s Office with two counts of reckless driving stemming from a video Hudson posted in February that showed a driver racing another car at speeds up to 107 mph.

As Times reporter Paige Cornwell noted: “Hudson said he considers himself an Instagram influencer. In one video, which has 6.6 million views, the driver films himself behind the wheel and says it’s 2 a.m., then revs the engine multiple times. He told the officer who pulled him over last week that he was going to continue and that the money he made filming videos had paid for the car.”

Seattle’s Vision Zero , which aims to end traffic deaths by 2030, notes that “Traffic deaths and injuries are preventable” and “Success does not hinge on individual behavior, but on the design of a safe system.”

WSDOT’s Target Zero campaign to reduce traffic fatalities to zero by 2030 is a “data-driven, long-term plan to identify priorities and solutions, create goals and develop a common understanding among the agencies working to keep Washingtonians safe.”

Speaking of data, let’s look at Seattle Police Department statistics for “Computer-Aided Dispatch” events — all activities that draw cops’ attention. There were 92,101 traffic-related incidents in 2019. Last year, that dropped to 42,569 — a reduction of more than half.

This is, of course, a direct function of fewer cops. Since 2019, more than 700 officers have left SPD. As of January, SPD had only 913 deployable officers, the lowest level since the 1990s. And the city’s population boomed in the same period.

In a December report, the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs noted the per capita rate of law enforcement officers statewide fell to 1.3 per thousand — the lowest ever recorded, again. For more than a dozen years, Washington has had the fewest law enforcement officers per capita, ranking 51st in the nation.

So, yes, we need to build safer roads. But unless we pay just as much attention to who is — and who should not be — driving on them, needless deaths will surely continue.

Title : Active carbons as nanoporous materials for solving of environmental problems

However, up to now, the main carriers of catalytic additives have been mineral sorbents: silica gels, alumogels. This is obviously due to the fact that they consist of pure homogeneous components SiO2 and Al2O3, respectively. It is generally known that impurities, especially the ash elements, are catalytic poisons that reduce the effectiveness of the catalyst. Therefore, carbon sorbents with 5-15% by weight of ash elements in their composition are not used in the above mentioned technologies. However, in such an important field as a gas-mask technique, carbon sorbents (active carbons) are carriers of catalytic additives, providing effective protection of a person against any types of potent poisonous substances (PPS). In ESPE “JSC "Neorganika" there has been developed the technology of unique ashless spherical carbon carrier-catalysts by the method of liquid forming of furfural copolymers with subsequent gas-vapor activation, brand PAC. Active carbons PAC have 100% qualitative characteristics of the three main properties of carbon sorbents: strength - 100%, the proportion of sorbing pores in the pore space – 100%, purity - 100% (ash content is close to zero). A particularly outstanding feature of active PAC carbons is their uniquely high mechanical compressive strength of 740 ± 40 MPa, which is 3-7 times larger than that of  such materials as granite, quartzite, electric coal, and is comparable to the value for cast iron - 400-1000 MPa. This allows the PAC to operate under severe conditions in moving and fluidized beds.  Obviously, it is time to actively develop catalysts based on PAC sorbents for oil refining, petrochemicals, gas processing and various technologies of organic synthesis.

Community engagement session in lorain focuses on road safety, accessibility.

The city of Lorain hosted an open house inviting community members to weigh in on the city’s five-year transit plan April 6 at the Lorain Public Library South Lorain Branch.

The city is working on this plan alongside consultant Toole Design, Lorain County Public Health and the Lorain County Commissioners, to make travel within Lorain safer and more accessible.

During the open house, Lorain mayor Jack Bradley spoke about Lorain County’s recently approved Microtransit program , which will get underway in July. The program will offer rideshare options that cost no more than $2 and can take people to doctor’s appointments, school, church, grocery stores and more in the county.

Bradley said the program, which residents can use through an app that is being developed, will make a big impact for Lorain.

“It’s really going to be something that helps people get around in our community,” he said.

Bradley added that the city of Lorain wants to make sure everyone can take advantage of the program.

“We’ll look at anyone who has an issue with affording that and hopefully provide some help,” he said.

Following Bradley’s remarks, Katie O’Lone, senior planner for Toole Design, delivered a presentation on a new five-year transit plan for Lorain.

In 2018, Lorain became the first city in Ohio to create a five-year plan focusing on improving active transportation options in the city. Since 2018, the city has made improvements to sidewalks, installed bike lanes throughout the city, new signage and other pedestrian-focused safety measures.

The new plan aims to continue some of the projects started over the last five years and also take into consideration new concerns from residents.

Specifically, much of O’Lone’s emphasis was on how to make Lorain safer for bicyclists and walkers. She said community members have already voiced that they want to see more lighting in walking areas, have more separation from cars while biking and enhancements at pedestrian street crossings as some examples.

“While we’ve done a lot of outreach and we’ve heard from the community, this is still just a draft,” she said. “We want to know if there are projects missing that we should be adding to this network.”

The open house invited community members to show on visual boards what changes they want to see to Lorain’s streets. Some of the boards were also asked the public what health and safety programs they might like to see in the community.

The partners in this project will continue their community engagement efforts before the planning process of the five year plan is complete in the summer, according to O’Lone.
