Abstract

This chapter focuses on the phenomenon that road adhesion coefficient decreases in the winter of cold regions, analyzes the outside brake forces of vehicles when turning on level road surface, and establishes the model of circular curve without setting superelevation. Then it measures data to determine the structure of the vehicle, speed, adhesion coefficient, sight distance, braking time and other parameters, decides theoretical security design specifications values of circular curve by simulation methods and finally gives the recommended radius values of circular curve without setting superelevation in consideration of driving comfort, which provides a frame of reference for horizontal alignment of the road in cold regions.
