Evaluation of Work Zone Mobility by Utilizing Naturalistic Driving Study Data, Phase II
The objective of this research was to study work zone mobility by utilizing the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP2) Naturalistic Driving Study (NDS) data. The NDS data provides a unique … [Read more...] about Evaluation of Work Zone Mobility by Utilizing Naturalistic Driving Study Data, Phase II
Improving Work Zone Mobility Through Planning, Design, and Operations
This research project consists of a series of tasks intended to yield results that will better inform transportation agencies in their planning, design, and operations of freeway work zones. This … [Read more...] about Improving Work Zone Mobility Through Planning, Design, and Operations
Evaluation of Traffic Control Options in Work Zones
Lane closures for work zones along freeways produce bottlenecks. These bottlenecks are problematic due to loss of capacity and excessive lane changes, which impact the facility performance represented … [Read more...] about Evaluation of Traffic Control Options in Work Zones
Impact of Trucks on Arterial LOS and Freeway Work Zone Capacity Part B: Freeway Work Zone Capacity
The existing FDOT lane closure analysis method was developed several years ago, and it is the desire of the Department to evaluate and update it accordingly. The objective of this research was to … [Read more...] about Impact of Trucks on Arterial LOS and Freeway Work Zone Capacity Part B: Freeway Work Zone Capacity
Impact of Lane Closures on Roadway Capacity: Modeling Diversion Propensity at Work Zones (Part C)
Chapter 10 of the FDOT Plans Preparation Manual titled "Work Zone Traffic Control" contains a lane closure analysis procedure, in which a "Remaining Traffic Factor" (RTF) is used to account for … [Read more...] about Impact of Lane Closures on Roadway Capacity: Modeling Diversion Propensity at Work Zones (Part C)
