Traffic Organization Scheme Design of Freeway Work Zone
With the development of the economy, some freeways have been overloaded by vehicles and need to be reconstructed or expanded. In addition, some freeways have been damaged and maintenance work is … [Read more...] about Traffic Organization Scheme Design of Freeway Work Zone
An Alternative Design for Traffic Intersections With Work Zones by Using Pre-signals
The lane closures caused by the work zone at the approaches create a negative impact on the operational effectiveness of the signalized intersections. This paper presents an innovative design for … [Read more...] about An Alternative Design for Traffic Intersections With Work Zones by Using Pre-signals
Designing Work Space Access Points to Better Accommodate Large Trucks
Large trucks have been significantly over-represented in work zone crashes nationally for the past several years. Many of these crashes involve rear-end collisions. One way to reduce rear-end … [Read more...] about Designing Work Space Access Points to Better Accommodate Large Trucks
Work-Zone Mapping Project Aims to Reduce Crashes Through Better Information
To improve safety in work zones across Minnesota, U of M researchers are working on a tagging and mapping system that can efficiently gather information about the layout of work zones, perform remote … [Read more...] about Work-Zone Mapping Project Aims to Reduce Crashes Through Better Information
Lane Width Estimation in Work Zones Using LiDAR-Based Mobile Mapping Systems
Lane width evaluation is one of the crucial aspects in road safety inspection, especially in work zones where an arrow lane width can result in a reduced roadway capacity and also, increase the … [Read more...] about Lane Width Estimation in Work Zones Using LiDAR-Based Mobile Mapping Systems
