Abstract
Mobility on roads is influenced by many factors like pavement surface condition, shoulder, driver skills, width of carriageway, roadside activities and type of terrain. Lateral clearance is the distance maintained by moving vehicle from the friction. Frictional activities along the road significantly influence speed and lateral clearance. In this study the influence of friction types on travel speed and lateral clearance for State highways (SH) and Major district roads (MDR) has been explored. The reduction in speed was found to be lowest for all the types of friction for two-wheelers and high for buses and trucks. The reduction in speed is found to be lesser on MDR compared to SH for cars, buses and trucks with respect to friction types of parking and roadside marketing. The lateral clearances maintained by trucks and buses are lesser compared to two-wheelers, three-wheelers, tractors and cars on SH. Reductions in lateral clearance distances on MDR are observed for different types of vehicles with respect to types of friction compared to SH.
