摘要: Transportation engineering text cover the topic of geometric design of highways but provide little information on highway safety, vehicle crashworthiness, and occupant safety. The objective of this project is to develop exercises using interactive computer animation to more effectively teach highway safety in transportation engineering. With computer animation, the student can clearly visualize the harm done to the individual in an accident. In addition, model parameters can be quickly and easily changed to allow the student to investigate alternative accident scenarios and perform sensitivity analyses. Educational exercises were developed using the computer programs, homework problems, and computer simulations on the following five areas are included in this report in a workbook format: Geometric design of a banked curve, occupant safety and head impact analysis, safe car following theory, hazardous highway identification, and queuing theory and merging dynamics.
