Establishing design vehicles for the hang-up problem
Current design vehicles do not address the hang-up problem. Two factors affect hang-ups: vehicle geometry and roadway geometry. There is a need to establish design vehicle characteristics for hang-up prone vehicles to reduce hang-ups potential.;Roadway geometry and vehicle characteristics relative …
