Research on Risk Assessment and Refined Improvement of Traffic Safety Facilities for Low Volume Rural Highways in China

Abstract

Based on an extensive investigation, this paper conducts a comprehensive analysis of the existing safety facilities on rural roads with low traffic volume in China. It quantifies the indicators for identifying high-risk sections and provides a detailed description of these common high-risk areas. Furthermore, this study proposes engineering measures to enhance the traffic safety facilities specifically designed for these vulnerable road sections. Additionally, practical design examples based on engineering practices in China are presented, which are both simple and user-friendly.
