Can Self-Driving Equipment Make Work Zones Safer?
Warning signs, barriers, and truck-mounted attenuators (TMA) can reduce some of the risks workers face in highway work zones, but they cannot eliminate the hazards. This past summer, Colorado … [Read more...] about Can Self-Driving Equipment Make Work Zones Safer?
A Smart Highway Work Zone Merge System Enabled by Connected Vehicles
Typical traffic control and operations at work zones usually are not very effective in mitigating the work zone bottleneck. A major reason is that the common early merge behaviors limits utilizing the … [Read more...] about A Smart Highway Work Zone Merge System Enabled by Connected Vehicles
