Effects of Work Zone Infrastructure on Transitioning From Automated to Manual Driving for Work Zones With Lane Reductions
This study explored the impact of work zone infrastructure on driver response when transitioning vehicle control from SAE International (SAE) Level 2 automation to the human driver (SAE 2014). Study … [Read more...] about Effects of Work Zone Infrastructure on Transitioning From Automated to Manual Driving for Work Zones With Lane Reductions
Characterization, Detection, and Segmentation of Work-Zone Scenes From Naturalistic Driving Data
This paper elucidates the automatic detection and analysis of work zones (construction zones) in naturalistic roadway images. An underlying motivation is to identify locations that may pose a … [Read more...] about Characterization, Detection, and Segmentation of Work-Zone Scenes From Naturalistic Driving Data
New Technology Could Reduce Roadway and Work Zone Crashes
About 800 people are killed in roadway work zones every year and at least 100 of them are workers. New and better technology from car manufacturers is here to help. As of May 2018, all new cars sold … [Read more...] about New Technology Could Reduce Roadway and Work Zone Crashes
Evaluating the Effects of Connected Vehicle Weather and Work Zone Warnings on Truck Drivers’ Workload and Distraction Using Eye Glance Behavior
This study acts in support of the Wyoming Department of Transport (WYDOT) connected vehicle pilot efforts in the deployment of effective, safe, and user-centered connected vehicle (CV) applications … [Read more...] about Evaluating the Effects of Connected Vehicle Weather and Work Zone Warnings on Truck Drivers’ Workload and Distraction Using Eye Glance Behavior
Locating Roadworks Sites via Detecting Change in Lateral Positions of Traffic Signs Measured Relative to the Ego-Car
Roadworks can be hazardous for both road workers and road users. Even with state-of-the-art safety measures in place, serious accidents do happen there, particularly when drivers do not heed roadwork … [Read more...] about Locating Roadworks Sites via Detecting Change in Lateral Positions of Traffic Signs Measured Relative to the Ego-Car
