Safety Evaluation and Adjustment of Superelevation Design Guides for Horizontal Curves Based on Reliability Analysis

AbstractIn general, the use of superelevation and changes in a road’s transverse slope are typically based on the road’s design speed to provide safety and comfort for a vehicle driving on a horizo...
