Abstract:
In order to provide a theoretical basis for the design and operational safety evaluation of freeways, 453 combined alignment sections of a four-lane two-way freeway were selected to study the dynamic visual fixation points on pavements of 13 drivers according to drivers' fixation characteristics in processes of 'driver-vehicle-road' cooperation. The distribution of drivers' fixation points on pavements and the characteristics of the fixation concentration region were analyzed under different running speeds and various combined alignment sections. In addition, a concept of driver expectation sight distance was proposed, and a computational model of the driver expectation sight distance was built for different running speeds. The results show that the driver expectation sight distance is related to the running speed and horizontal radius. When the horizontal radius is less than or equal to 800 m, drivers' visual field will be restricted as the running speed increases, and some speed limit measures should be taken to ensure the driving safety.
