Abstract

In order to improve the driving safety of expressway turning ramp in rainy weather, a quantitative method of car driving safety was proposed based on the influence of section alignment, driving speed and rainfall. Thinking of human-vehicle-road cooperation, a CarSim-based traffic simulation model was established. Taking the maximum lateral offset, peak response time and transition response time as safety evaluation indexes and adopting the single factor test method, the influences of radius of ramp curve, elevation, longitudinal gradient and vehicle target speed on ramp driving safety in rainy weather was analyzed. The result showed that the driving safety of expressway turning ramp was positively correlated with the radius of circular curve and negatively correlated with the target speed and the absolute value of longitudinal gradient; when the speed was low, too large road elevation would lead to the increase of lateral offset and endanger the driving safety; the sensitivity of longitudinal gradient, radius of ramp curve, elevation and vehicle target speed to driving safety are 0.67, 0.92, 0.99 and 0.99 respectively. Finally, a quantitative model of car driving safety on turning ramp in rainy weather was established using MATLAB multiple regression, the quantitative relationship between the maximum lateral offset and driving speed was obtained, and some suggestions on safety and speed limit were proposed.
