A Methodology for Scheduling Within-Day Roadway Work Zones Using Deep Neural Networks and Active Learning
City infrastructure agencies routinely implement road projects that address various elements of urban infrastructure. The majority of these projects are short-term in nature (e.g., utility repair), as … [Read more...] about A Methodology for Scheduling Within-Day Roadway Work Zones Using Deep Neural Networks and Active Learning
Inferring Heterogeneous Treatment Effects of Work Zones on Crashes
The increasing number of work zone crashes has been a significant concern for road users, transportation agencies, and researchers. Crashes can be caused by work zones, and this effect changes across … [Read more...] about Inferring Heterogeneous Treatment Effects of Work Zones on Crashes
Safety Helmet Detection at Construction Sites Using YOLOv5 and YOLOR
Wearing a helmet is mandatory for workers at construction sites. It is very important for the safety of workers during work. In many scenarios, detecting workers not wearing helmets can prevent … [Read more...] about Safety Helmet Detection at Construction Sites Using YOLOv5 and YOLOR
Characterization, Detection, and Segmentation of Work-Zone Scenes From Naturalistic Driving Data
This paper elucidates the automatic detection and analysis of work zones (construction zones) in naturalistic roadway images. An underlying motivation is to identify locations that may pose a … [Read more...] about Characterization, Detection, and Segmentation of Work-Zone Scenes From Naturalistic Driving Data
County Trials New Tech to Stay Ahead in Winter Roads Maintenance
State-of-the-art technology is due to be employed to monitor North Yorkshire’s vast network of roads throughout the winter months to help ensure routes can be kept open during severe weather. North … [Read more...] about County Trials New Tech to Stay Ahead in Winter Roads Maintenance
