In Colombia, the number of fatal crashes is evidence of a road safety problem, and geometric design consistency could be a solution to reduce them, since they are directly related. The Colombian Highway Geometric Design Manual aims to address consistency at an early stage of design through the assignment of specific speed for plan and profile elements. The objective of this study is to verify the applicability of the parameters that define this velocity in horizontal curves for undulating terrain. Forty horizontal curves were analyzed in which 1380 speed data were recorded with users circulating at free flow. Geometric and operational elements were considered as independent variables, and speed changes as dependent variables. The multifacto...
