Effects of Terrain on Vehicle Trajectories
Project Information
Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-09-0108
Project Abstract:
This research project will study vehicle dynamics and crash simulations to determine the need for revisions to the criteria for slope traversability in the Roadside Design Guide (RDG) and highway design manuals. The analysis will consider a range of vehicles, various speeds and angles of departure, different side and back slope conditions, and road types.
