Agile Work Zone Management Based on Connected Vehicle Data
Peak period lane closures can result in significant queueing on major interstates. Many state agencies thus have a lane closure policy in place based upon historical time of day and day of week … [Read more...] about Agile Work Zone Management Based on Connected Vehicle Data
Assessment of Commercial Truck Driver Injury Severity Based on Truck Configuration Along a Mountainous Roadway Using Hierarchical Bayesian Random Intercept Approach
For the last decade, disaggregate modeling approach has been frequently practiced to analyze truck-involved crash injury severity. This included truck-involved crashes based on single and … [Read more...] about Assessment of Commercial Truck Driver Injury Severity Based on Truck Configuration Along a Mountainous Roadway Using Hierarchical Bayesian Random Intercept Approach
Characterizing Interstate Crash Rates Based on Traffic Congestion Using Probe Vehicle Data
Crash reduction factors are widely used by engineers for prioritizing safety investments. Work zones are routinely analyzed by the length and duration of queues. Queue detection warning technology has … [Read more...] about Characterizing Interstate Crash Rates Based on Traffic Congestion Using Probe Vehicle Data
