| 摘要： | This paper describes the current state of practice on the use of countermeasures to reduce commercial vehicle (CV) incidents on remote interstate highways during severe weather. The Federal Highway Administration reports that a CV crash costs between $76,000 and $117,000 with interstate highway closures due to these crashes causing millions of dollars loss to the region. The business practice of "just in time" delivery of goods and rolling warehouses requires that restrictions and closures of interstates be eliminated or kept to a minimum. Nine western states were surveyed to document the types of countermeasures being used and the effectiveness of the countermeasure. The western states selected all had a major cross-country interstate traversing a mountain range. The locations of the selected segments were generally remote with mountainous terrain. The researched countermeasures were grouped into the following categories: Decision-Making, Restrictions and Advisories, Traffic and Road Features, Information Systems, Surveillance and Detection, and Automated Systems. Thirty-eight countermeasures were researched and thirteen countermeasures were recommended by the author. It was found that all of the states surveyed utilize a web site for up-to-date road and travel information. Automated systems were least used. CV length restrictions and dynamic or changeable message signs were reported as the most effective tools to reduce CV incidents. |
