Finds documents with exactly this word group, in exactly this word order and spelling (e.g. "employer branding").
Finds documents with both search terms (e.g. sales AND bonus).
Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).

Abstract

This study delves into the critical role of roadside friction in urban traffic operations, focusing on four-lane roads. It identifies various friction sources, such as pedestrian movement, on-street parking, bus stops, and access roads, and their significant impact on traffic speed and capacity. The research introduces the Side Friction Score (SFS), a unified metric that quantifies the combined influence of these friction elements. Through extensive data collection and analysis, the study determines the relative importance of each friction variable and develops a methodology to calculate the SFS. The findings reveal that side friction has a more pronounced effect on speed reduction at medium and high traffic levels. The study concludes that the SFS can serve as a valuable tool for urban traffic management, aiding in the assessment and mitigation of congestion and safety risks associated with roadside elements. Additionally, the research highlights the need for further studies to expand this analysis to other road types and friction categories.
