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
