A New Method Based on Field Strength for Road Infrastructure Risk Assessment

Table 7

Risk levels of road infrastructure (case study).

Risk levelField strengthExplanation

No riskE<60The infrastructure is good enough for safe driving.

Low risk60⩽E<100The infrastructure is safe for most drivers, but it is risky for a small part of drivers in harsh weather.

Medium risk100⩽E<140The infrastructure is quite safe under normal condition, but it is risky for a large part of drivers in harsh weather.

High riskE140The infrastructure is risky for most drivers, and it may lead to severe traffic problem.
