• Abstract:
  The study identified driver information needs on rural two-lane roads along with potential types of problems that could be alleviated through informational treatments. A simple, inexpensive procedure was developed that could be used by state and local jurisdictions to identify information deficiencies on two-lane rural roads. As part of the study, a 5000-mile, 15-state sample of roadway and informational characteristics was acquired using a microcomputer-based instrumented vehicle. The data base provided a means of determining the nature of informational problems and of estimating the magnitude of information deficiencies on the nation's rural two-lane road system. This volume presents a description of the field data collection procedure, a set of terrain-based tables summarizing the field data sample characteristics and detailed task analyses for a variety of roadway geometries. This is volume 3 of a four volume set.
