An Analysis on Effects of Right Shoulder Width of Highways on Coordination of Driving Behaviors
-
摘要: 近几年,高速公路上因右侧硬路肩宽度设置不合理而引起的道路交通事故频发.道路环境不同间接引起的驾驶行为紊乱是导致交通事故发生的重要因素.因此,针对高速公路不同右侧硬路肩宽度对驾驶行为协调性影响问题,从驾驶人视觉感知角度出发,以广东省高速公路实际调研资料为基础,选取右侧硬路肩宽度不同的典型路段,深入分析右侧硬路肩宽度对车辆行驶左右偏移量及车速分布的影响.研究结果表明:当驾驶员行驶于高速公路最外侧车道时,右侧硬路肩宽度的不同对驾驶行为协调性的影响显著,合理的硬路肩宽度易使驾驶员处于安全、舒适、高效的驾驶状态,驾驶行为协调性较好;而过窄或过宽的硬路肩宽度易引起驾驶员紧张和分心,间接造成驾驶行为紊乱,增加发生交通事故的可能性.Abstract: Improper width of right shoulder is considered as one of the most important reasons that lead to traffic accidents on highways.Meanwhile,variation of driving environments could cause disorder of driving behaviors.Therefore,with a purpose to explore the effects of different right shoulder width on consistency of driving behaviors,typical road segments with different shoulder width in Guangdong Province are chosen as samples in this study.The impacts are investigated from an aspect of vision awareness.The results indicate that when a vehicle is driving along the most right lane,the difference of the right shoulder width has the most significant influence on coordination of driving behaviors.The drivers would be distracted or feel nervous when the shoulder width is either too narrow or wide.Optimal shoulder width could help drivers to keep a safe,comfortable and effective status.In conclusion,a proper design of shoulder width of highways could reduce the risk of traffic accidents.
