Analysis of Injury Severity of Large Truck Crashes in Work Zones
Work zones are critical parts of the transportation infrastructure renewal process consisting of rehabilitation of roadways, maintenance, and utility work. Given the specific nature of a work zone … [Read more...] about Analysis of Injury Severity of Large Truck Crashes in Work Zones
Injury Outcomes and Costs for Work Zone Crashes
The main objective of this research was to quantify the injury outcomes and develop reliable and comprehensive injury costs for work zone crashes based on crash type (rear-end, head-on, etc.) and … [Read more...] about Injury Outcomes and Costs for Work Zone Crashes
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
