Abstract | Roundabouts in rural locations typically have high approach speeds and are often criticised for catastrophic incidents. This report reviews the literature on heavy vehicle rollovers at roundabouts, covering the most frequently cited papers. The study emphasised a comprehensive review of geometric features that contribute to the rollover of heavy vehicles in high-speed roundabouts, with a broad focus on studies from overseas. |
