This study modeled the location of crashes within work zones as a function of the lengths of the different work zone segments, traffic volume, weather, and other exogenous factors. A multinomial-logit … [Read more...] about Modeling the Location of Crashes Within Work Zones: Methodology and a Case-Study Application

Effect of Radar Drone Operation on Speeds at High Crash Risk Locations
At highway construction and maintenance work zones and other locations where roadway alignment, road surface, and traffic flow conditions have contributed to high crash rates, crash risk may be … [Read more...] about Effect of Radar Drone Operation on Speeds at High Crash Risk Locations
State’s Safety Efforts Put Trooper at Fatal Location: Program Attempts to Slow Motorists at Construction Sites
A National Highway Traffic Safety Administration study shows that 41 percent of fatal accidents at roadway work sites involve motorists. Most are caused by drivers who speed or don't pay attention to … [Read more...] about State’s Safety Efforts Put Trooper at Fatal Location: Program Attempts to Slow Motorists at Construction Sites
Distribution and Characteristics of Crashes at Different Locations Within Work Zones in Virginia
Work zones tend to cause hazardous conditions for vehicle drivers and construction workers since these work zones generate conflicts between construction activities and the traffic, and therefore … [Read more...] about Distribution and Characteristics of Crashes at Different Locations Within Work Zones in Virginia
Travel Easy Brochure Provides Work Zone and Rest Area Location Information
Orange barrels, workers in orange or bright green safety vests, and heavy construction equipment means you're heading into a work zone and it's time to slow down. If you want to know ahead of time … [Read more...] about Travel Easy Brochure Provides Work Zone and Rest Area Location Information
Improved Work Zone Design Guidelines and Enhanced Model of Travel Delays in Work Zones. Phase I: Portability and Scalability of Interarrival and Service Time Probability Distribution Functions for Different Locations in Ohio and the Establishment of Improved Work Zone Design Guidelines
The project focuses on two major issues - the improvement of current work zone design practices and an analysis of vehicle interarrival time (IAT) and speed distributions for the development of a … [Read more...] about Improved Work Zone Design Guidelines and Enhanced Model of Travel Delays in Work Zones.
