Abstract

The exit ramps of highway interchanges are the easy and high incidence points of highway traffic accidents. According to a large number of domestic and international statistics, the number of traffic accidents at freeway interchange ramps accounts for more than 30% of all freeway traffic accidents, and the accident rate at exit ramps is about twice as high as that at import ramps. At present, the research on the safety of exit ramps of freeway interchanges is mostly focused on the individual discussion of each traffic safety influencing factor, but the multiple factors affecting the safety of exit ramps cannot be considered in a comprehensive and coordinated manner. Therefore, in order to improve the safety of highway exit ramps and reduce the probability of accidents, this paper takes the highway exit ramp section as the research object, establishes a simulation model using Carsim software, combines several influencing factors, studies the driving stability of small cars in the exit ramp section, and establishes the relationship between the critical value of safe driving of vehicles in the highway exit ramp section and the radius of circular curve, super high, and friction coefficient, The relationship model between the vehicle's safe driving in the exit ramp section of the highway and the radius of the circular curve, super high, friction coefficient.
