Lane Drops

Effects of Work Zone Infrastructure on Transitioning From Automated to Manual Driving for Work Zones With Lane Reductions

This study explored the impact of work zone infrastructure on driver response when transitioning vehicle control from SAE International (SAE) Level 2 automation to the human driver (SAE 2014). Study … [Read more...] about Effects of Work Zone Infrastructure on Transitioning From Automated to Manual Driving for Work Zones With Lane Reductions

Work Zone Traffic Simulation Using Cellular Automata

The focus of the present work is to develop a simulation model using cellular automata for work zone traffic containing homogeneous traffic condition. Work zone is created by blocking some of the … [Read more...] about Work Zone Traffic Simulation Using Cellular Automata

Technology in Rural Transportation, “Simple Solution” #7 – Lane Drop Driver Awareness

Lane drops occur as a result of restricting roadways caused by construction work or other planned or unplanned events. When vehicles fail to merge in a timely fashion, delays or traffic accidents … [Read more...] about Technology in Rural Transportation, “Simple Solution” #7 – Lane Drop Driver Awareness

Advance Lane Drop Arrows

The primary goal of this evaluation was to determine the effectiveness of the arrows as located in the approach to a highway work zone. The arrows are intended for use both with stationary long-term … [Read more...] about Advance Lane Drop Arrows
