The Safe Distance on a Roadway

Publication: International Conference on Sustainable Infrastructure 2019: Leading Resilient Communities through the 21st Century

ABSTRACT

This project presents an overview of the safe distance on a roadway. It aims to establish a design of vehicle safety distance system while driving on the road. It is an improved safe distance system involves four main points to 1 develop international standards for measuring the safe driving distances along with 2 modifying the vehicle speed measurement in the speedometer as an indication for the safety distance between vehicles. In the last points, 3 traffic signs and 4 black circular plates included with red border were constructed to integrate the safety distance lines between traveling vehicles to reduce the number of traffic accidents. The study method was carried out by a 3D sketch up modeling computer program and experimental questionnaires. The results indicated that 88% of drivers were satisfied with the project and additions to existing traffic signs, thereby 90% of participants agreed that the project was innovative and was genuinely enthusiastic and well convicted that it of great benefit.
