Abstract:
In order to clarify the operating characteristics and driving behavior at the entrance and exit of mountain tunnels and reveal the mechanism of traffic accidents at tunnel portals, three tunnels on expressways and urban express roads were selected, respectively. The spot speeds of passenger cars and trucks at the entrances and exits of these tunnels were collected. The observation sample size for a single section on the expressway is more than 500, for the urban fast road tunnel, it is more than 1 100. The variation rules and influencing factors of vehicle speed were analyzed based on the section data, and the predictive model of vehicle speed was developed. Analysis results show that drivers will slow down vehicle speed when approaching the tunnel portal. The speeds of passenger cars and trucks decrease by 12-21 and 2-10 km·h-1, respectively. The speed decrease oftruck is lower than that of passenger car. Near the tunnel portal, the speeds of passenger cars and trucks are more than 80 and 70 km·h-1, respectively. The speed range of the expressway tunnel entrance and exit section is 75-110 km·h-1, for the entrance section of the fast road tunnel, it is 60-88 km·h-1. The speed at entrance or exit of the expressway tunnel is generally higher than that of the urban fast road tunnel. Drivers speed up after acclimatizing in the tunnel and accelerate when they depart the tunnel. However, they slow down when there is a sharp curve and interchange in front of the tunnel exit. The deceleration of vehicle within 100 m in front of the tunnel entrance is the largest. The decelerations of trucks and passenger cars are 0.23-0.58 and 0.47-0.70 m·s-2, respectively. The speed data measured at the same sectionhave strong discreteness, indicating an obvious longitudinal interference among various vehicles, which is easy to cause rear-end collision. 5 tabs, 8 figs, 30 refs.
