Model of the heavy freight vehicle's running speed used for diversion traffic routes determination

Abstract

This paper describes the construction process of a discrete model of a heavy truck running speed. The running speed calculation is based on the technical parameters of the road (geometry, gradient, curves, etc.) and valid Czech legislation for road designing. In this article, road factors influencing the final heavy freight vehicle's running speed are presented as well. The main assumption is the fact that every heavy vehicle moves on the road by speed allowed by the geometry of this road, road signs and traffic flow characteristics (intensity, density or road capacity).
