Abstract

The influence factors between rutting depth and traffic safety is educed through the analysis of the mechanism that how rutting affects traffic safety. The investigation is presented in Feng-Yong Expressway, concerning rut depth, traffic accidents, weather and road alignment data. The wet-weather accident rate (WAR), wet-weather accident rate in curve(WARC) and so on, as main indicators, are used in analysis and evaluation. The relationship between rutting depth and traffic safety, associated with the weather and road alignment, is obtained. And based on the data analysis, the criterion of the rutting depth for maintenance in this region is proposed.
