Finite element model is created to analyze wind speed field of embankment. With no sideslip and overturning as targets, threshold of natural crosswind speed is analyzed under the influence of the multi factors including crosswind, traffic speed, friction coefficient and alignment in static vehicle model. The results will supply guidance for driving safety management and road design in pastoral area. Key words: Traffic safety; Roads in pastoral area; Threshold of wind speed; Radius of curves; Friction coefficient; Driving speed; Super elevation Roads in pastoral in Inner Mongolia have low-volume traffic, second or third class criteria is taken when they are designed with minor radius, high driving speed; because of its special geology conditions wind speed is high usually, and it is higher on the top of embankment than other places as embankment has great influence on wind speed field; Drift sand usually cover road surface, snow and ice usually do in the same way in winter, lowering road surface friction coefficient; all these adverse factors contribute to traffic accidents. Traffic safety caused by multi-factors has been paid much more attention to. Considering multi factors including crosswind speed, driving speed, friction coefficient and super elevation, Sn?bj?rnsson et al (2007) and Sigbj?rnsson et al(1998) assessed traffic accidents probability by accident rates. Considering multi influence factors, Jiabin et al (2006) create equivalent wind speed model of bridge deck to analyze tra
