Abstract:

To clarify passenger cars' longitudinal driving behavior along hairpin curves of mountain roads， the section from Huadiwan to Ningjiazhai of national highway G211 located in Pengshui County， Chongqing， China was selected as the object. The field driving test of passenger cars was carried out to collect trajectory， speed， and acceleration data. Firstly， the characteristics of speed amplitude were analyzed， and the vehicle speed modes in the direction of uphill and downhill were defined. Then， the distribution law of the speed change feature points' position was obtained. Finally， the deceleration and acceleration's amplitude characteristics and influencing factors are studied. The results show that in the curved section， the actual speed is significantly higher than the design speed and speed limit， and the overspeed behavior is very common. The speed pattern of hairpin curves along uphill direction is a ‘decelerate- accelerate’ two-stage speed mode， different from the speed pattern of a standard horizontal curve. The speed pattern for hairpin curves in downhill direction presents three-stage of ‘deceleration-constant speed-acceleration’. The position of speed feature points is affected by sight distance， slope， and deflection angle， which is different from the conventional driving behavior assumption. The speed valley points of the uphill are mainly distributed in the first half of the circular curve. Deceleration endpoints in the downhill direction appear near the SC and MC points； and the acceleration starting point is mainly distributed in the circular curve and the second spiral range. The 85 percentile deceleration rate when entering a hairpin curve on the downhill is 1.25 m/s2， and the one on the uphill is 1.0 m/s2. When departing the hairpin curve， the 85th percentile acceleration rate is 0.9 and 0.6 m/s2， respectively， for downhill/uphill curves. Finally， an operating speed model for entering， departing， and staying in the hairpin curves was developed and verify. The research results can provide theoretical and basic data support for the safety evaluation and improvement of complex roads in dangerous mountainous areas.
