    Abstract
  • Vehicle running speed and pavement friction coefficient were considered as random variables. Two performance functions of vehicle skidding failures based on quality point model and considering roll motion were proposed, and the safety reliability of vehicle moving on curve road was analyzed. The skidding probability of each horizontal curve with limiting minimum radius recommended by Technical Standard of Highway Engineering (JTG B01—2003) was calculated, the failure probabilities of two performance functions were compared by varying pavement friction coefficient and vehicle running speed, and the reliability design flow of horizontal curve radius was presented. Analysis result indicates that skidding probability calculated by the performance function considering roll motion is larger than that calculated by quality point model, and truck is more vulnerable to skid than car on the same road environment. Vehicle is simplified as quality point, roll motion and vehicle type difference are ignored in the horizontal curve design, these are adverse to truck safety. 5 tabs, 6 figs, 17 refs.
