A review to determine the need, location, and design of runaway lanes in British Columbia
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive review of previous work relating to runaway lane design was conducted and a brake temperature model was evaluated and modified to reflect the eight axle truck configurations existing in British Columbia to devise a simple runaway lane warrant.

Three-dimensional discrete element simulation of the runaway vehicle deceleration process on the arrester bed of truck escape ramps:
TL;DR: The results indicate that the smaller the aggregate diameter and entry speed and the greater the truckload and grade of the arrester bed, the more easily the wheel falls into the gravel aggregate, the better the deceleration effect, and the bigger the stopping distance.

Analyzing the Influence of Aggregate Properties on Stopping Distance on Truck Escape Ramps
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the influence of aggregate properties such as types of aggregate and river gravel radius on stopping distance through numerical analysis of particle flow code in two dimensions (PFC2D).

Recreational traffic management strategies
TL;DR: In this article, it was found that while time diversion strategies have not been adequately tested, route diversion systems have been effective in reducing recreational traffic congestion, and patrol vehicles can provide adequate surveillance for diversion strategies.
