Totaling over 30 million in fines and over 750,000 tickets issued, Maryland officials now has the numbers to prove how serious they are about punishing work zone speed violators. Work zone incidents … [Read more...] about Md.’s Mobile Speed Cameras Raking in Millions From Work Zones
Assessment of Non-Recurrent Traffic Congestion Caused by Freeway Work Zones and its Statistical Analysis with Unobserved Heterogeneity
Freeway work zones with patching, paving, lane marking, debris removing, and weeding cause temporary capacity reduction in the freeway and may lead to non-recurrent traffic congestion. Such … [Read more...] about Assessment of Non-Recurrent Traffic Congestion Caused by Freeway Work Zones and its Statistical Analysis with Unobserved Heterogeneity
Analysis of Driver Casualty Risk for Different Work Zone Types
Using driver casualty data from the Fatality Analysis Report System, this study examines driver casualty risk and investigates the risk of contributing factors in the construction, maintenance and … [Read more...] about Analysis of Driver Casualty Risk for Different Work Zone Types
The Effect of In-Vehicle Warning Systems on Speed Compliance in Work Zones
The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of augmented in-vehicle speed warnings on driver behavior in work zones. The influence of three device configurations were examined as … [Read more...] about The Effect of In-Vehicle Warning Systems on Speed Compliance in Work Zones
A Genetic Algorithm Approach to Assessing Work Zone Casualty Risk
This paper proposes a genetic algorithm (GA) approach to assessing work zone casualty risk defined as the likelihood of a vehicle occupant being killed or injured in a work zone crash. The proposed GA … [Read more...] about A Genetic Algorithm Approach to Assessing Work Zone Casualty Risk
An Improved Cellular Automata Model for Heterogeneous Work Zone Traffic
This paper aims to develop an improved cellular automata (ICA) model for simulating heterogeneous traffic in work zones. The proposed ICA model includes the forwarding rules to update longitudinal … [Read more...] about An Improved Cellular Automata Model for Heterogeneous Work Zone Traffic
