Impacts of Autonomous Truck-Mounted Attenuator (ATMA) on INDOT Work Zone Safety, Mobility, and Worker Productivity
Work zone safety has been a major concern for many stakeholders including the state Departments of Transportation (DOTs). To prevent DOT workers, especially truck mounted attenuator (TMA) drivers from … [Read more...] about Impacts of Autonomous Truck-Mounted Attenuator (ATMA) on INDOT Work Zone Safety, Mobility, and Worker Productivity
Variable Speed Limits Control for Smart Work Zone With Connected Vehicles
Freeway work zones with lane closures can cause traffic disruption and congestion with increased travel time, safety risks, and emissions. Variable speed limit (VSL) control has been widely studied to … [Read more...] about Variable Speed Limits Control for Smart Work Zone With Connected Vehicles
Tesla Autopilot Through Constructions: Investigating the Effect of On-Road Partially Automated Driving Through Construction Zones
Partially-automated driving systems are designed to control the vehicle’s speed and acceleration without input from the human driver on the condition that the driver maintains alertness. These systems … [Read more...] about Tesla Autopilot Through Constructions: Investigating the Effect of On-Road Partially Automated Driving Through Construction Zones
A Cooperative Lane-Change Behaviour Evaluation for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles in Road Work Zones Environments
The mobility and safety benefits of Connected and Automated vehicles (CAVs) are an ongoing area of research. While several studies demonstrate the advantages of CAVs, there remains a gap in … [Read more...] about A Cooperative Lane-Change Behaviour Evaluation for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles in Road Work Zones Environments
A Comprehensive Study on CMV Safety Using ITS in Work Zones on Freeways and Arterials
Work zones pose significant safety challenges on highways, with Commercial Motor Vehicles (CMVs) being particularly susceptible to higher risk due to their larger size, slower … [Read more...] about A Comprehensive Study on CMV Safety Using ITS in Work Zones on Freeways and Arterials
