This paper considers the problem of estimating road user costs (RUCs), such as travel time and delays, for roadway construction projects under time and data limitations. RUCs measure the mobility … [Read more...] about Estimation of Road User Costs for Work Zones in Data-Limited or Time-Constrained Environments

A Generic Work Zone Evaluation Tool Driven by a Macroscopic Traffic Simulation Model
This study proposed a generic work zone evaluation tool driven by a dynamic macroscopic traffic model. The tool can investigate the effects of a work zone on freeway conditions. The classical freeway … [Read more...] about A Generic Work Zone Evaluation Tool Driven by a Macroscopic Traffic Simulation Model
Research on Deceleration Behavior Characteristics of Highway Reconstruction and Extension Work Zone
To study the relationship between deceleration and facility setting mode of expressway reconstruction areas, independent variables such as the number of traffic signs and the distance between … [Read more...] about Research on Deceleration Behavior Characteristics of Highway Reconstruction and Extension Work Zone
Marginal Effect of Road Construction on Traffic Speed: Evidence From New York City
Road Construction, which is proposed as a solution to severe congestion, might rise an increase in commuting time and decease in traffic speed due to the poor management or delay in completion. This … [Read more...] about Marginal Effect of Road Construction on Traffic Speed: Evidence From New York City
Modeling the Effect of a Freeway Road Construction Project on Link-Level Travel Times
Drivers experience variations in travel time due to congestion and delays associated with road construction projects on existing transportation facilities. The effect on the travel time of a link … [Read more...] about Modeling the Effect of a Freeway Road Construction Project on Link-Level Travel Times
