Simulation and Modelling of Safety of Roadways in Reverse Horizontal Curves (RHCs): With Focus on Lateral Acceleration by Maziyar Khanjari, Ali Abdi Kordani, Mohammad Zarei

“…In this study, by using the vehicle dynamic modeling (VDM) method, the lateral acceleration of vehicles (including E-Class Sedan, E-Class SUV, and Truck) passing through the RHC combined with three scenarios of downgrades, upgrades, and no slope was evaluated. Finally, in order to present the final model, the RHC lateral acceleration model was presented based on the effective parameters, including different design velocities (V), the direct distance between two horizontal curves (D), and different longitudinal slopes (G) by the multiple regression model method. …”
