| 摘要： | Designing and maintaining a "forgivable roadside" is an important concept to promote highway safety. However, it is not always possible, feasible or "affordable," particularly on Low-Volume Rural Roads (LVR). The results of recent research have provided reasonably good guidelines for roadside safety, barrier rail and end treatments on state highways and other major roads. Generally these sophisticated models and guidelines do not apply to LVR. Local governments have tens of thousands of miles of LVR where rights-of-way are narrow, clear zones and traversable slopes cannot be provided and budgets are inadequate for a multitude of competing problems. The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) contracted with the authors to review the state-of-the-art of roadside safety, interview local roads personnel, study local roadside situations and develop guidelines on low-volume roads, roadside safety and barrier rail use. The computer program ROADSIDE was adapted to LVR conditions and simplified guidelines for its use were developed for LVR conditions. Computer results based on a range of Kansas LVR conditions were compiled and presented in a manual for easy use by Kansas personnel with responsibility for LVR safety. The paper presents information on adapting ROADSIDE for use on LVR and a sample of results from the Kansas Manual. |
