This paper addresses the challenge of real-time safety assessment in multi-lane highway work zones by introducing two key innovations. First, we formulate a Comprehensive Collision Risk Index (CCRI) … [Read more...] about A Multibranch Risk Assessment Model for Multi-Lane Highway Work Zones Based on Risk Fields and Graph Attention Network
Crash Rates
Work Zone Intrusion Prediction Workshop
Can the occurrence of work zone intrusions be predicted? If an intrusion does occur, how likely is it to result in a crash? And, how severe will the crash be? These questions were posed by the … [Read more...] about Work Zone Intrusion Prediction Workshop
Adaptive Hazard Zone Model for Improved Safety in Highway Work Zones
Highway work zones present hazardous conditions where worker safety is at constant risk due to interactions with construction equipment. In such environments, accurately defining hazard zones around … [Read more...] about Adaptive Hazard Zone Model for Improved Safety in Highway Work Zones
Real-Time Conflict Prediction for Large Truck Merging in Mixed Traffic at Work Zone Lane Closures
Large trucks substantially contribute to work zone-related crashes, primarily due to their large size and blind spots. When approaching a work zone, large trucks often need to merge into an adjacent … [Read more...] about Real-Time Conflict Prediction for Large Truck Merging in Mixed Traffic at Work Zone Lane Closures
Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis Exploring Safety Performance Measures of Work Zone
Work zones are widely recognized as major contributors to road fatalities and traffic congestion. Although extensive research has explored the relationship between work zone crashes and contributing … [Read more...] about Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis Exploring Safety Performance Measures of Work Zone
A Hybrid Framework for Predicting Crash Severity in Construction Work Zones Using Knowledge Distillation and Conditional GANs
Construction work zone crashes represent a critical area of concern within the realm of traffic safety, posing unique challenges for both road users and transportation authorities. Common factors … [Read more...] about A Hybrid Framework for Predicting Crash Severity in Construction Work Zones Using Knowledge Distillation and Conditional GANs
