Abstract:

Most of the rural highways in the United States of America are two-lane, two-way highways. In order to ensure smooth flow of traffic, maximum-passing opportunities must be provided on these highways, where the fast moving vehicles can overtake slow mowing vehicles. However, due to the geometric characteristics of the highways and cost limitations, passing opportunities cannot be provided throughout the length of the entire highway. Hence there is a need to find the segments of the highway that are not safe for overtaking called “no passing zones.” The accurate placement of no passing zones on two lane highways is critical to ensure safety of the travelers and also to protect the department of transportations of various states from lawsuits. Literature review shows that current methods used to mark the passing zones and no passing zones are very tedious and time consuming. /Abstract from report, p. [1]/
