A Smart Highway Work Zone Merge System Enabled by Connected Vehicles
Typical traffic control and operations at work zones usually are not very effective in mitigating the work zone bottleneck. A major reason is that the common early merge behaviors limits utilizing the … [Read more...] about A Smart Highway Work Zone Merge System Enabled by Connected Vehicles
Capacity Modeling and Control Optimization for a Two-Lane Highway Lane-Closure Work Zone
A two-lane highway lane closure work zone is a unique work zone type because of its traffic impact. When one lane of traffic is blocked, it is necessary to implement a traffic control strategy to … [Read more...] about Capacity Modeling and Control Optimization for a Two-Lane Highway Lane-Closure Work Zone
Estimation of Saturation Headway in Work Zones on Urban Streets
Work zones and lane closures on urban arterials can cause significant disruptions to the traveling public, and methods are increasingly needed to estimate the reductions to saturation flow rates that … [Read more...] about Estimation of Saturation Headway in Work Zones on Urban Streets
Analysis on Work Zone Characteristics in South Korean Expressways Using Text Mining Technique
The study proposes the association between work zone types and work zone lane closure types used in the construction of South Korean expressways through the use of the text mining and association … [Read more...] about Analysis on Work Zone Characteristics in South Korean Expressways Using Text Mining Technique
Determining Work Zone Lane Capacities Along Multilane Signalized Corridors
The existing motor vehicle travel lanes are either narrowed to a single lane or diverted around the work zone, which may lead to disruptions in traffic flow due to reduced capacity. The capacity of … [Read more...] about Determining Work Zone Lane Capacities Along Multilane Signalized Corridors
