Crash Modeling of High-Profile Moving Vehicles Under Strong Crosswinds Based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (Sep 2024, MPC-24-561)
Extreme wind conditions can be a formidable foe to both highway and driver safety. Strong gusts increase the likelihood of wind-induced vehicle crashes, especially for high-sided vehicles (i.e., semi-trucks) in the United States. Current understanding of wind loads on high-sided vehicles comes mostly...
Understanding Driver and Occupant Dynamics in Rural Traffic Safety (Jun 2007, DP-188)
The goal of this study was to contribute localized information for decision-making to allocate traffic safety resources in the Northern Rocky Mountain Region states of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming. The rural nature of the region differentiates its driving environment from other more...
