Models of Analysis of Credible Deviation from Speed Limits on Two-Lane Roads of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Table 1

Criteria for obtaining the values of a credible deviation from the speed limit.

Applied methodologyThe 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 techniqueUsing a special measuring device (handheld radar) bushnell NSN 5840-01-620–6670

Site selectionRoad 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 requirementsTraffic 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 processingBased 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.
