Modeling and Simulation of Mixed Traffic Flow in Maintenance Operation Zone Considering the Impact of Trucks in an Intelligent Connected Environment
With the rapid development of intelligent connected technologies, the introduction of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) into mixed traffic flows of passenger and freight vehicles complicates … [Read more...] about Modeling and Simulation of Mixed Traffic Flow in Maintenance Operation Zone Considering the Impact of Trucks in an Intelligent Connected Environment
Passive Sensing Communication to Vehicles in Construction Work Zones Through Signage Coded on Pavement Surface
Construction work zones (CWZ) present safety challenges because of speeding, distracted driving, and improper lane changes. The objective of this research was to enhance CWZ communication and safety … [Read more...] about Passive Sensing Communication to Vehicles in Construction Work Zones Through Signage Coded on Pavement Surface
A Safety Service Patrol Case Study in the Use of Vehicle-Mounted Message Boards to Promote Move-Over Behavior
Move over, slow down laws have been enacted in all 50 U.S. states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, to make safety service patrol (SSP) personnel safer. Emergency vehicle lighting and … [Read more...] about A Safety Service Patrol Case Study in the Use of Vehicle-Mounted Message Boards to Promote Move-Over Behavior
Assessing the Impact of Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication on Lane Change Safety in Work Zones
Connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technology has the potential to enhance lane change safety in work zones, especially during lane closures. However, the safety implications of vehicle-to-vehicle … [Read more...] about Assessing the Impact of Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication on Lane Change Safety in Work Zones
Driving Risks Assessment and In-Vehicle Warning Design for Improving Work Zone Safety
Work zones present unique risks to both workers and road users due to its complex and dynamic nature. This study developed a two-stage in-vehicle warning system aimed at refining driver behavior when … [Read more...] about Driving Risks Assessment and In-Vehicle Warning Design for Improving Work Zone Safety
