Analysis and Treatment of Mountain Roads’ Dangerous Sections
Publication: ICTE 2015
Abstract
In order to study the unique accident characteristics of mountain roads to guarantee safety. Through careful investigation and information search on mountain roads and on the basis of a large number of data and cases of actual accidents, this paper summarized the main features of accidents in mountainous areas. According to the core idea of intrinsic safety, more attention should be paid to the design stage of road construction in mountain areas. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, this paper sums up the main factors that influence the safety of mountain roads, they are road geometry, road condition and unique road environment in mountain areas. On the basis of the three factors, this paper proposes the principles and methods of dangerous section of governance. Through various analysis and comparison, this paper provides a more reasonable method of identifying black spots. The research results show that: the main reason of road accidents is a continuous curve and stadia, the tunnel without lighting equipment and water seepage inside the tunnel after earthquake are the factors that lead to accident, and the existence of the hidden dangers of accidents are mainly caused by the loosening mountain rocks and the lack of Kanawha rail.
