Analysis of the Influence of Geometric Design Consistency on Vehicle CO2 Emissions

Llopis-Castelló, David; Camacho-Torregrosa, Francisco Javier; García García, Alfredo (Elsevier, 2019)

[EN] Highway vehicles driving on rural roads account for more than 50% of all CO2 emissions produced by the transportation sector in Europe. Although the policy measures to mitigate Greenhouse Gas emissions are increasing, ...
Analysis of the Influence of Sport Cyclists on Narrow Two-Lane Rural Roads Using Instrumented Bicycles and Microsimulation

MOLL MONTANER, SARA; López-Maldonado, Griselda; García García, Alfredo (MDPI AG, 2021-02)

[EN] It is frequent to see cyclists on Spanish two-lane rural roads, both riding individually and in groups. However, these roads were designed only for motorized vehicles, most of them having a narrow section with a null ...
Analysis of the vehicle-bicycles interaction on two-lane rural roads using a driving simulator based on field data

Dols Ruiz, Juan Francisco; Molina, Jaime; MOLL MONTANER, SARA; López-Maldonado, Griselda; Camacho-Torregrosa, Francisco Javier; García García, Alfredo (Elsevier, 2021)

[EN] The presence of cyclists on Spanish two-lane rural roads is common, so they have to interact with motor vehicles. Due to the speed differential and vulnerability of cyclists, overtaking is one of the most dangerous ...
Calibration of Inertial Consistency Models on North Carolina Two-Lane Rural Roads

Llopis-Castelló, David; Findley, Daniel J.; Camacho-Torregrosa, Francisco Javier; García García, Alfredo (Elsevier, 2019)

[EN] Road crash occurrence is closely related to the geometric design consistency, which can be defined as how drivers¿ expectancies and road behavior fit. To this regard, the crash rate on a road segment increases as its ...
Driver behavior when overtaking cyclists riding in different group configurations on two-lane rural roads

Pérez Zuriaga, Ana María; MOLL MONTANER, SARA; López-Maldonado, Griselda; García García, Alfredo (MDPI AG, 2021-12)

[EN] The presence of cyclists on Spanish rural roads is ever increasing and currently frequent, and thus becoming a serious safety concern. In rural environments, the risk of a crash is higher than in rural areas. The main ...
Drivers' behaviour when overtaking cyclists on rural roads: Driving simulator validation using naturalistic data

MOLL MONTANER, SARA; López-Maldonado, Griselda; Llopis-Castelló, David; Dols Ruiz, Juan Francisco; García García, Alfredo (Elsevier, 2023-05)

[EN] Driving simulator is a useful tool for obtaining data on driver behaviour efficiently and quickly. However, to ensure the reliability of the data gathered by the simulator, it is necessary to check the differences ...
Estudio sobre la seguridad ciclista en carreteras convencionales mediante encuesta. Propuesta de mejora de la CV-310, entre los P.K. 10+000 y 15+750, de los TT.MM. de Bétera y Náquera (Valencia)

Martínez Serrano, Ignacio (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2019-06-21)

[EN] In Spain, there are a lot of recreational cyclists who use two lane rural roads, either for leisure or for sporting purposes, and year after year still growing. This increase generates conditions in road facilities, ...
Evaluation of the Influence of Road Geometry on Overtaking Cyclists on Two-Lane Rural Roads

López-Maldonado, Griselda; MOLL MONTANER, SARA; Pérez Zuriaga, Ana María; García García, Alfredo (MDPI AG, 2022-08)

[EN] Road cycling, both individually and in groups, is common in Spain, where most two-lane rural roads have no cycle lanes. Due to this, and the difference in speed between drivers and cyclists, the overtaking manoeuvre ...
Examination Free-Flow Speed Distribution on Two-Lane Rural Roads

García Jiménez, María Elena; Pérez Zuriaga, Ana María; Llopis-Castelló, David; Camacho Torregrosa, Francisco Javier; García García, Alfredo (Transportation Research Board, 2016)

[EN] Free-flow speed variation of passenger vehicles along a road segment is one of the most used factors in road safety studies, as a surrogate measure to evaluate road design consistency. Free-flow speed may be measured ...
Impact of horizontal geometric design of two-lane rural roads on vehicle CO2 emissions

Llopis-Castelló, David; Pérez Zuriaga, Ana María; Camacho-Torregrosa, Francisco Javier; García García, Alfredo (Elsevier, 2018)

[EN] In 2014, highway vehicles accounted for 72.8% of all Greenhouse Gases emissions from transportation in Europe. In the United States (US), emissions follow a similar trend. Although many initiatives try to mitigate ...
Influencia de la señalización y el balizamiento en la siniestralidad en curvas de carreteras convencionales

Pérez Zuriaga, Ana María; García García, Alfredo; Camacho Torregrosa, Francisco Javier; Gascón Culebras, Vidal (Asociación Técnica de Carreteras, 2014)

[EN] Road crashes is one of the most important problems of today’s society, especially on two-lanes rural roads. Besides, tangent-to-curve transitions are considered the most conflictive points spots since they concentrate ...
Modelling duration of car-bicycles overtaking manoeuvres on two-lane rural roads using naturalistic data

MOLL MONTANER, SARA; López-Maldonado, Griselda; Rasch, Alexander; Dozza, Marco; García García, Alfredo (Elsevier, 2021-09)

[EN] Nowadays, Spanish two-lane rural roads frequently accommodate sport cyclists. They usually ride on the shoulder or on the right edge of the lane, sharing the infrastructure with motorised vehicles. Due to the ...
