A QuickZone Tailor-Made for Maryland

Abstract:

The prototype version of QuickZone, a new work zone delay estimation software developed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Mitretek Systems, is now available for use and assessment by highway agencies. One State getting ready to give it a real-world tryout is Maryland. QuickZone can be used to compare the traffic impacts for work zone mitigation strategies and estimate the costs associated with these impacts. The costs can be estimated for both an average day of work and for the whole life cycle of construction. The software, says lead developer Karl Wunderlich of Mitretek Systems, “will help highway agencies better phase and stage their construction activities. It can help them determine what times of day and what times of the year are best for a certain project, for example.”
