APPENDIX F

NCHRP 3-74 Appendix F Selection of Speed Reduction Treatments at High-Speed Intersections Speed Profile Histogram Kittelson & Associates, Inc. Page F-1 Appendix F Histograms of Speed Profile Data at 10 Sites This appendix provides a series of 14 exhibits, one for each intersection approach discussed in the speed profile analysis. In each exhibit, speed data are summarized in the form of a histogram for each approach location (A through D) and data collection period (before and after) combination. The exhibits generally consist of a set of 2 x 4 panels—2 columns representing before and after data collection periods; 4 rows representing Locations A through D. In some instances, fewer locations are available (e.g., Exhibits F-3 and F-13); in other instances, a histogram may be further subdivided by approach lane (e.g., Exhibit F-9). When an individual panel is empty (e.g., Exhibit F-10), either no speed data were available that match the time window or no data were originally collected at that location in that lane. The physical layout of each exhibit allows for direct before-after comparison, as well as the comparison of speed profiles along an approach from Location D to Location A (i.e., toward the intersection) for each data collection period. The inset in each histogram provides basic descriptive statistics (number of vehicles; minimum, mean, and maximum speeds; and speed standard deviation). A vertical dashed gray line is drawn at the posted speed limit of each approach. The curve of a normal distribution (blue dashed line) with sample mean speed and sample standard deviation speed is superimposed on each histogram. The speed histograms illustrate the following features of the data: • For a given time period, the reduction in mean speeds along the approach • For a given location, the shape of the speed data distribution: approximately normal; skewed in one direction; long tails in one or both directions; or bimodal • Changes in the dispersion of the speed measurements across data collection periods Bimodal data, represented by two distinct peaks on a histogram, is indicative of two driver populations—one driving straight through the intersection and another, perhaps turning. This occurs at Location A for many intersection approaches. Speed measurements summarized in the histograms for each data collection period separately (before or after) are from approximately the same vehicles passing through the measurement locations.
