Speed Reduction Effects of Drone Radar in Rural Interstate Work Zones
Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of using drone (passive or unmanned) radar guns on vehicle speeds in construction zones. Experiment 1 was an exploratory study to find … [Read more...] about Speed Reduction Effects of Drone Radar in Rural Interstate Work Zones
Effect of Radar Transmissions on Traffic Operations at Highway Work Zones
A series of field studies was conducted at highway work zones where low-output radar transmissions were emitted (by motion detection devices) without the presence of visible law enforcement. Data were … [Read more...] about Effect of Radar Transmissions on Traffic Operations at Highway Work Zones
Effect of Radar Drone Operation on Speeds at High Crash Risk Locations
At highway construction and maintenance work zones and other locations where roadway alignment, road surface, and traffic flow conditions have contributed to high crash rates, crash risk may be … [Read more...] about Effect of Radar Drone Operation on Speeds at High Crash Risk Locations
Devices and Technology to Improve Flagger/Worker Safety
The purpose of this study was to identify new work zone traffic control (WZTC) techniques and devices being used throughout the country to improve worker safety, and to evaluate their appropriateness … [Read more...] about Devices and Technology to Improve Flagger/Worker Safety
Use of drone radar in work zones
NYDOT has used drone radar in rural stationary work zones. It was effective in some locations, but generally has not been effective in reducing speeds. Drivers who travel the route routinely quickly … [Read more...] about Use of drone radar in work zones
