Optimising Work Zones With Enhanced Cellular Automata and Delayed Mandatory Lane-Changing Modelling
In highway work zones, lane-changing behaviour near bottlenecks is more urgent than in general segments, referred to as delayed mandatory lane-changing (DMLC). This study proposes an enhanced cellular … [Read more...] about Optimising Work Zones With Enhanced Cellular Automata and Delayed Mandatory Lane-Changing Modelling
Impact of HMI on Driver Behavior and Safety in Rural Work Zones: A Naturalistic Driving Approach
With the rapid development of vehicle-to-everything technology, human–machine interaction (HMI) systems are increasingly used in driving. This study investigates the impact of HMI technology on … [Read more...] about Impact of HMI on Driver Behavior and Safety in Rural Work Zones: A Naturalistic Driving Approach
Investigating Implementation Practices and Initiatives for Using Blue Light to Enhance Work Zone Safety in the United States
Using appropriate warning lights in roadway work zones is crucial for the safety of workers and road users. Several state Departments of Transportation (DOTs) in the United States have conducted … [Read more...] about Investigating Implementation Practices and Initiatives for Using Blue Light to Enhance Work Zone Safety in the United States
