Abstract:This paper presents results from a study of how speed varies among vehicle categories under variable winter conditions and how incline affects traffic flow. The study was divided into two parts. The first part was a case study with observations of traffic behavior influenced by weather events. The case study formed the basis for hypotheses about how winter conditions could influence speed. The second part of the study tested some of these hypotheses through information about traffic, climate, friction, and win… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
