Adaptive Traffic Management for Emergency Vehicles in Work Zones
A work zone is a section of road with closed lanes for maintenance, forcing vehicles to merge and creating congestion bottlenecks on the highway. Emergency Vehicles (EVs) are vital for incident … [Read more...] about Adaptive Traffic Management for Emergency Vehicles in Work Zones
Usefulness and Reliability of Probe Data When Alerting Work Zone Message Signs
This study investigated the viability of using crowdsourced data sets, specifically segment speed data (SSD) and connected vehicle data (CVD), for providing real-time traffic information to the … [Read more...] about Usefulness and Reliability of Probe Data When Alerting Work Zone Message Signs
Smart Construction Work-Zone Safety With V2I Passive Material Sensing
This study explored new vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) technology in construction work zones (CWZ), where speeding, unsafe driving behaviors, and drivers' failure to obey traffic signs contribute … [Read more...] about Smart Construction Work-Zone Safety With V2I Passive Material Sensing
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
