Towards the Safe Operation of Autonomous Vehicles in Work Zones
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) promise significant advances in transportation safety and efficiency. However, navigating roadway work zones, which can be rather complex and dynamic, remains a significant … [Read more...] about Towards the Safe Operation of Autonomous Vehicles in Work Zones
Impact of Road Work Zones on Traffic Flow and Safety: A VISSIM-Based Analysis of Driving Behavior and Risk Factors
To achieve Vision Zero and eliminate all fatalities and severe injuries in road traffic, it is necessary to improve road safety for both road users and road workers. Accidents and incidents that occur … [Read more...] about Impact of Road Work Zones on Traffic Flow and Safety: A VISSIM-Based Analysis of Driving Behavior and Risk Factors
Real-Time Conflict Prediction for Large Truck Merging in Mixed Traffic at Work Zone Lane Closures
Large trucks substantially contribute to work zone-related crashes, primarily due to their large size and blind spots. When approaching a work zone, large trucks often need to merge into an adjacent … [Read more...] about Real-Time Conflict Prediction for Large Truck Merging in Mixed Traffic at Work Zone Lane Closures
Incident Management in Interstate Work Zones
Incidents in interstate work zones can create challenges for incident management, especially when temporary traffic barriers and limited shoulder pull-off areas are present. This project identified … [Read more...] about Incident Management in Interstate Work Zones
Development of an Analytical Tool for Work Zone Performance
Highway work zones are vital for infrastructure maintenance but often disrupt traffic flow, affecting safety and efficiency. While traditional evaluation methods—such as delay, queue length, and crash … [Read more...] about Development of an Analytical Tool for Work Zone Performance
