Determining the Effective Location of a Portable Changeable Message Sign on Reducing the Risk of Truck-Related Crashes in Work Zones
Truck-related crashes contribute to a significant percentage of vehicle crashes in the United States, which often result in injuries and fatalities. The amount of truck miles traveled has increased … [Read more...] about Determining the Effective Location of a Portable Changeable Message Sign on Reducing the Risk of Truck-Related Crashes in Work Zones
Using Eye-Tracking for Traffic Control Signage Design at Highway Work Zone
This paper discusses the application of Eye Tracking (ET) technologies for researchers to understand a driver’s perception of signage at the highway work zone. Combining ET within a screen-based … [Read more...] about Using Eye-Tracking for Traffic Control Signage Design at Highway Work Zone
An Empirical Assessment on the Effects of Geometry and Non-Geometry Factors in Work-Zone Crashes With Unobserved Heterogeneity
Work zones are uniquely configured and managed by special traffic signs, standard channelizing devices, appropriate barriers, and pavement markings. Unexpected driving conditions through different … [Read more...] about An Empirical Assessment on the Effects of Geometry and Non-Geometry Factors in Work-Zone Crashes With Unobserved Heterogeneity
Work Zone Crash Occurrence Prediction Based on Planning Stage Work Zone Configurations Using an Artificial Neural Network
Work zones are essential to maintain and improve road infrastructure. However, work zones affect traffic safety, and crashes and fatalities associated with work zones in the U.S.A. have increased … [Read more...] about Work Zone Crash Occurrence Prediction Based on Planning Stage Work Zone Configurations Using an Artificial Neural Network
