Determining vehicle operating speed and lateral position along horizontal curves using linear mixed-effects models.

CONCLUSIONS: Speed and lateral position at point of entry were observed to influence trajectory and speed profiles. Rural horizontal curve site models are presented that indicate that the following variables were significant and influenced both vehicle speed and lateral position: time of day, direction of travel (inside or outside lane), and type of vehicle.
