  1. 31. Analysis of side friction impacts on urban roads : Case study Dar-es-Salaam

    Författare :Masatu L. M. Chiguma; Karl-Lennart Bång; Christer Hydén; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Side friction factors; urban road links; speed-flow relationships; macroscopic method; microscopic method; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP;

    Sammanfattning : Side friction factors are defined as all those actions related to the activities taking place by the sides of the road and sometimes within the road, which interfere with the traffic flow on the travelled way. They include but not limited to pedestrians, bicycles, non-motorised vehicles, parked and stopping vehicles. LÄS MER
