    Analysis of the impact of adverse weather on freeway free-flow speed in Spain 
    Camacho-Torregrosa, Francisco Javier; García García, Alfredo; Esplugues Belda, Enrique (Transportation Research Board, 2010)
    [EN] Weather conditions affect traffic flow characteristics, including speed and capacity. Several studies have stated that rain, snow, wind speed, and visibility loss cause reductions in speed and capacity. Understanding ...

    Application of Global Positioning System and questionnaires data for the study of driver behavior on two-lane rural roads 
    Pérez Zuriaga, Ana María; Camacho Torregrosa, Francisco Javier; Campoy Ungria, Jose Manuel; García García, Alfredo (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2013-06)
    Methodologies based on naturalistic observation provide the most accurate data for studying drivers' behaviour. This study presents a new methodology to obtain naturalistic data related to drivers' behaviour in a road ...

    DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF SPEED KIDNEY, A NEW TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICE 
    García García, Alfredo; Moreno Chou, Ana Tsui; Romero Rojas, Mario Alfonso (National Academy of Sciences, 2011-09)
    Traffic calming has been widely applied to urban areas in recent decades to moderate speed and traffic volume. Because most measures used are physical, a vehicle must modify its path and speed. A benefit of traffic calming ...

    La modelación distribuida con pocos parámetros de las crecidas 
    Francés García, Félix; Benito Casado, Javier (Universitat Politècnica de València, 1995-12-31)
    [ES] En este artículo los autores presentan un modelo de simulación de crecidas distribuido de pocos parámetros. Los submodelos utilizados son: para la obtención del campo de precipitación el método de inverso a la distancia ...

    Modeling Operating Speed and Deceleration on Two-Lane Rural Roads with Global Positioning System Data 
    Pérez Zuriaga, Ana María; García García, Alfredo; Camacho-Torregrosa, Francisco Javier; D'Attoma, Pierangelo (Transportation Research Board, 2010)
    [EN] In the road design process, speed variation along the road segment is an important issue to consider in adapting road geometry to drivers' expectations. To achieve this objective, speed criteria are used to evaluate ...

    New consistency index based on inertial operating speed 
    García García, Alfredo; Llopis Castelló, David; Camacho Torregrosa, Francisco Javier; Pérez Zuriaga, Ana María (National Academy of Sciences, 2013)
    The occurrence of road crashes depends on several factors, with design consistency (i.e., conformance of highway geometry to drivers' expectations) being one of the most important. A new consistency model for evaluating ...

    New geometric design consistency model based on operating speed profiles for road safety evaluation 
    Camacho Torregrosa, Francisco Javier; Pérez Zuriaga, Ana María; Campoy Ungria, Jose Manuel; García García, Alfredo (Elsevier, 2013-12)
    [EN] To assist in the on-going effort to reduce road fatalities as much as possible, this paper presents a new methodology to evaluate road safety in both the design and redesign stages of two-lane rural highways. This ...

    Speed Table Evaluation and Speed Modeling for Low-Volume Crosstown Roads 
    Moreno Chou, Ana Tsui; García García, Alfredo; Romero Rojas, Mario Alfonso (National Academy of Sciences, 2011-07)
    More than 50% of injury accidents in Spain take place on crosstown roads in urban areas. Traffic calming is an initiative to reduce the impact of traffic on local streets by lowering both the number and the severity of ...

    Tangent-to-curve transition on two-lane rural roads based on continuous speed profiles 
    Pérez Zuriaga, Ana María; Camacho Torregrosa, Francisco Javier; García García, Alfredo (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013-11-01)
    [EN] In the road geometric design process, speed variation along the road segment is one of the most popular criteria to evaluate road consistency, hence the importance of estimating operating speed and its variations. ...
