The major emphasis of the research in this report was to empirically relate vehicle paths to highway curve paths to test the assumption that vehicles follow the path of a highway curve paths to test the assumption that vehicles follow the path that most vehicle paths, regardless of speed, exceed the degree of highway curve at some point on the curve. On a 3-degree curve, for example, 10 percent of the vehicles can be expected to exceed 4.3 degrees. These results were integrated with preliminary data generated on another project conducted at the Texas Transportation Institute and a new design application is proposed based on the results of these two studies.
