|
Applied methodology | The basic method of defining credible speed deviation from the speed limit (ΔV = Vreal- Vlim), observation of four classes of vehicles and their grouping (PV, BUS, LDV, and HDV) |
|
Recording technique | Using a special measuring device (handheld radar) bushnell NSN 5840-01-620–6670 |
|
Site selection | Road class: Standard two-lane roads (class I highway)—two-lane class II roads (according to HCM-2016) [10] |
Traffic lane width: from 2.75 m to 3.5 m |
Distance from side disturbances: <2.50 m |
Access density (on one side): <13 access points/km |
Terrain: flat or hilly suburban road |
Speed limit: 50–80 km/h |
Free flow speed: speed limit + 10–20 km/h |
Overtaking lane length (if any): location specific |
Road condition: good condition |
Longitudinal gradient: −5.70 ≤ G ≤ 7.00 |
Length of measuring section from a cross section: min 1000 m |
Traffic light intersection: none |
There is no impact of pedestrian flows |
|
General information on traffic requirements | Traffic criteria: medium traffic load; higher percentage of commercial vehicles (15 and more); relevant flow according to the 200th hour criterion ≤12% AADT; percentage of traffic requests by directions: 60/40; lack of influence of parking or bus stops, recording in a peak and nonpeak period |
|
Data processing | Based on the average values of individual locations and the summary average values, the values of speeds that do not exceed the speed limit are ignored in the analysis. |
