The objective of this research was to determine what influence geometric design elements of roadway may have on driver behavior during the overtaking maneuver.This was part of a larger research effort to eliminate crashes(and the resulting fatalities and injuries) between bicycles and motorized vehicles.The data collection process produced 1151 observations with approximately 40 different independent variables for each data point through direct observation,sensor logging,or derivation from other independent variables.Prior research by the authors developed a means to collect real-time field data through the use of a bicycle-mounted data collection system.The collected data was then used to model lateral clearance distance between vehicles and bicycles.The developed model confirmed field observations that the lateral clearance distance provided by drivers changes with vehicle speed and oncoming vehicle presence.These observations were presented by the authors previously.The model shows that driver behavior can be adjusted by the inclusion,or exclusion,of geometric elements.Evaluating roadways(or roadway designs) based on this model will enable stakeholders to identify those roadway segments where a paved shoulder would prove an effective safety countermeasure.This research will also enable roadway designers to better identify during the design phase those roadway segments that should be constructed with a paved shoulder.

为什么要学习研究科学史?萨顿在《科学史与新人文主义》一书的开头就提出了这一极富哲理的问题。确实,类似的问题至今仍在困扰着我们的社会,令人深思令人忧。  随着科学知识的专门化、深入化,科学领域中的人文色彩逐渐淡漠,人文工作者又无法通晓科学语言,于是,造成两者隔河相望的局面。萨顿要在这道鸿沟之间构筑起一座桥梁,他找到了桥梁的支柱,这就是科学史。  正是通过科学史,我们可以充分挖掘出深藏在科学之中的人性
