Continuous Highway design can ensure driver to travel at speeds which they expect along the highway alignment Evaluation of alignment continuity based on possible speed can ensure quality of alignment design and traffic accidents down. This paper counts alignment characteristics of prairie highway by field investigation and verification of relevant information. The actual driving test experimental results on typical prairie highway sections show that: prairie highway alignment continuity is good.

With the rapid development of Chinese highway construction, domestic highway design has stepped into the stage of efficacy. At the present stage, traditional highway design method on the basis of vehicle dynamics is exposing more and more drawbacks. The main factor affecting traffic accidents in highway transportation system should be analyzed form a new perspective and complementarity for Design Specification for Highway Alignment should be proposed. The purpose of this research is summering the relative research and its technique of highway safety.

Impaired visibility resulting from rainfall contributes greatly to the occurrence of traffic accidents. This study presents a numerical simulation approach to analyze the extent to which the coupling of spray and raindrops reduces visibility and thus proposes safe speeds against inadequate visibility. The spray-raindrop coupling particles were modeled by considering the real highway design parameters and rainfall conditions. The road visibility was estimated through simulating the multiple scattering process of taillights in the spray-rain medium, and the maximum safe speed against inadequate visibility was then derived by comparing the visibility with the required stopping sight distance. Results show that: 1) either a high speed of the front truck or a thick water-film results in a significant reduction in road visibility and the maximum safe speed of the ego vehicle, 2) front vehicle speed plays a more important role in visibility reduction than the water-film thickness does.

Einnicken am Steuer ist eine häufige und verhütbare, aber bisher noch zu wenig beachtete Ursache von Verkehrsunfällen. Eine Hypersomnie mit unfreiwilligem Einschlafen am Steuer in gefährlichen Situationen wird durch akuten oder chronischen Schlafmangel, durch die Schlafqualität beeinträchtigendes Verhalten und krankhafte Schlafstörungen begünstigt. Eine häufige Erkrankung, die sich typischerweise mit vermehrter Einschlafneigung manifestiert, ist das obstruktive Schlafapnoe Syndrom. Betroffene Patienten haben ein deutlich erhöhtes Risiko für Unfälle im Straßenverkehr. Die Früherkennung, Abklärung und Behandlung betroffener Fahrzeuglenker sowie eine gezielte Aufklärung der Öffentlichkeit über das Risiko des Einnickens am Steuer können wesentlich zur Verhütung solcher Unfälle beitragen.
