The Research on trafficability of Large-sized Vehicles at Small-radius Curves in Myanmar Pale – Gangaw Road

The research team used UAV aerial survey, continuous section velocity measurement with laser technology, GPS and other means to take a detailed look at the current status of the infrastructure of the selected section of Pale-Gangaw Road. On this basis, a systematic analysis of the current status of road facilities, traffic, vehicles, traffic accidents and traffic safety facilities was carried out. They also used the risk assessment model and software to analyze the overall traffic safety risks along the whole line, and key observations were made on hair pin turns, clarify the high-risk points and sections and analyze the risk causes. The causes of high risks in key points and sections were further analyzed and corresponding safety improvement suggestions were put forward.
