A Simulation Study of Walking-Workers Assignment Strategies Based on Work Zones
This study addresses an “U” shaped assembly line with walking workers and flexible worker assignments. Workers, rather than machines, are the constraining resource in a dual-resource production … [Read more...] about A Simulation Study of Walking-Workers Assignment Strategies Based on Work Zones
Highway Workers’ Perception of Autonomous Truck-Mounted Attenuator: A Case Study in Indiana’s DOT
Highway maintenance operations have been associated with high rates of crashes, leading to workers’ injuries and fatalities. To protect the state Department of Transportation (DOT)’s maintenance … [Read more...] about Highway Workers’ Perception of Autonomous Truck-Mounted Attenuator: A Case Study in Indiana’s DOT
Human Science and Professional Approaches to Improve Road Worker and Driver Safety on Workzones
On the French national road network, over the past ten years, from one to two road workers are killed and thirty injured during interventions every year. The number of killed and severely injured is … [Read more...] about Human Science and Professional Approaches to Improve Road Worker and Driver Safety on Workzones
The Distraction Potential of Driving a Partially Automated Vehicle Through a Construction Zone
Partial driving automation is designed to control the vehicle’s speed and acceleration without input from the human driver on the condition that the driver maintains alertness. These systems are … [Read more...] about The Distraction Potential of Driving a Partially Automated Vehicle Through a Construction Zone
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
