| 摘要： | The objectives of this project included a study to determine the safety effects of intersection type (unsignalized, signalized, and interchange) on Nebraska expressway intersections, quantification of the safety effects of a Collision Countermeasure System (CCS), and update of the Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR) expressway intersection guidelines. The CCS is an Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) traffic control device to warn drivers of conflicting cross-traffic at rural, non-signalized intersections. The goal was that if found effective, the CCS will become part of the intersection designer's options for expressway intersection design (other options being an interchange, traffic signals, and traffic control signs). Several issues and concerns were identified during the research on the CCS including: Drivers on the minor road approaches failing to stop if the CCS indicated there was no traffic approaching on the main road; Drivers relying on the CCS information and failing to pay attention to the presence of vehicles which may not be indicated by the CCS; thus, perhaps increasing accident potential; System failures, maintenance costs, and liability concerns; Driver understanding of the CCS signs; and CCS complexity and cost. |
