Factors Influencing Injury Severity to Highway Workers in Work Zone Intrusion Accidents
Objective: Highway workers in work zones are in close proximity to traveling vehicles, exposing them to injury risks when vehicles intrude into the work zone. The purpose of this research was to … [Read more...] about Factors Influencing Injury Severity to Highway Workers in Work Zone Intrusion Accidents
Highway Work Zone Risk Factors and Their Impact on Crash Severity
Numerous factors may contribute to high-severity crashes in highway work zones. Identifying these factors and then alleviating their impact is a challenging task that traffic engineers and … [Read more...] about Highway Work Zone Risk Factors and Their Impact on Crash Severity
Development of Crash-Severity-Index Models for the Measurement of Work Zone Risk Levels
Highway work zones interrupt regular traffic flows and create safety problems. Improving safety without sacrificing the main function of highways is a challenging task that traffic engineers and … [Read more...] about Development of Crash-Severity-Index Models for the Measurement of Work Zone Risk Levels
Injury Severity and Total Harm in Truck-Involved Work Zone Crashes
Society pays a high cost for work zone crashes in terms of operational disruptions, property damage, injuries and loss of life. Given narrow lanes in work zones, large trucks are of particular … [Read more...] about Injury Severity and Total Harm in Truck-Involved Work Zone Crashes
