Research on the length of passing distance in the real traffic flow

Abstract

This paper presents research and analysis of the length of passing distance in the real traffic flow on the sections of two-way two-lane roads. Values of passing sight distance recommended by road design rulebooks and recommendations are often not consistent with the length of passing distance which occurs in the real traffic flow. In the research conducted for this study, it was found that the passing distance in real traffic flow are significantly shorter than the values obtained by mathematical models.
