2. Geometric design of roads - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_design_of_roads

   A geometric design saved on construction costs and improved visibility with the intention to reduce the likelihood of traffic incidents. The geometric design of roads is the branch of highway engineering concerned with the positioning of the physical elements of the roadway according to standards and constraints. The basic objectives in ...

3. Traffic engineering (transportation) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_engineering...

   Highway safety engineering is a branch of traffic engineering that deals with reducing the frequency and severity of crashes. It uses physics and vehicle dynamics, as well as road user psychology and human factors engineering, to reduce the influence of factors that contribute to crashes. A typical traffic safety investigation follows these ...

4. Traffic simulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_simulation

   Traffic simulation or the simulation of transportation systems is the mathematical modeling of transportation systems (e.g., freeway junctions, arterial routes, roundabouts, downtown grid systems, etc.) through the application of computer software to better help plan, design, and operate transportation systems. [1]

5. Controlled-access highway - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled-access_highway

   Entrances and exits to the highway are provided at interchanges by slip roads (ramps), which allow for speed changes between the highway and arterials and collector roads. On the controlled-access highway, opposing directions of travel are generally separated by a median strip or central reservation containing a traffic barrier or grass.

6. Paramics Discovery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramics_Discovery

   Paramics was created from scratch based on several models and mainly on the paper “A model for traffic simulation” by Hans-Thomas Fritzsche. [5] Paramics uses the car-following and lane-changing model [6] to show the correlation of numerical data for road networks under differing conditions through the use of computer graphics.

7. Straight-line diagram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-line_diagram

   Such diagrams are usually produced by a highway department, and display features along the road, including bridges and intersecting roads. Rows below the diagram show data about the road, usually including speed limit, number of lanes, bridge numbers, and historical data, among other data. Subway lines also frequently employ straight-line diagrams.
