Abstract
A driver's behavior of controlling a vehicle will be influenced if the sight distance is insufficient. Thus it causes the change of the vehicle's operating speed and the start or termination of the overtaking.Be- cause sight distance changes with the road traffic condition at any time and any place,most simulation soft- ware does not consider the effect of sight distance on vehicle's speed and overtaking.This paper propounds a way and automatic calculation procedure for sight distance to different road alignment,offers some help to simulate the real traffic flow characteristic according to the sight distance in the simulation system.
