Estimating Safety Benefit of In-Vehicle Work Zone Safety Technology Alerts: A Counterfactual Monte-Carlo Simulation Approach
Work Zone Safety Technologies (WSTs) have exhibited great potential to improve road work zone safety by detecting safety risks and providing warnings to drivers and workers involved. Yet, it remains … [Read more...] about Estimating Safety Benefit of In-Vehicle Work Zone Safety Technology Alerts: A Counterfactual Monte-Carlo Simulation Approach
Improving Work Zone Safety: Integrating VR-CARLA Co-Simulation and Eye Tracking for Behavior Analysis of Drivers Around Work Zones
Ensuring safety around roadway work zones is difficult which is evident by the fact that despite considerable safety measures, drivers and workers are still exposed to risks. An incomplete … [Read more...] about Improving Work Zone Safety: Integrating VR-CARLA Co-Simulation and Eye Tracking for Behavior Analysis of Drivers Around Work Zones
How Cognitive Distraction Affects Motorway Short-Term Work Zone Safety Along Curves: A Driving Simulation Study
This study investigates how cognitive distraction affects driver behaviour on a two-lane motorway reduced to one lane (the left) in a short-term work zone along a left-hand curve. Forty-two … [Read more...] about How Cognitive Distraction Affects Motorway Short-Term Work Zone Safety Along Curves: A Driving Simulation Study
Enhancing Work Zone Safety: A Psychological and Behavioral Analysis of Anti-Tailgating Strategies Using Dynamic Message Signs and Fixed Warning Signs
Rear-end collisions in work zones, particularly those resulting from tailgating, pose a significant safety challenge that has not been adequately addressed in road safety research. Existing studies … [Read more...] about Enhancing Work Zone Safety: A Psychological and Behavioral Analysis of Anti-Tailgating Strategies Using Dynamic Message Signs and Fixed Warning Signs
Smart Work Zone Control and Performance Evaluation Based on Trajectory Data
