Severity of Worker-Involved Work Zone Crashes: A Study of Contributing Factors
Despite the recent efforts to investigate crash severity, worker presence and its impact on injury severity in work zone crashes is still unexplored. A better understanding of work zone crash … [Read more...] about Severity of Worker-Involved Work Zone Crashes: A Study of Contributing Factors
A Multistage Analytic Model of the Longitudinal and Lateral Acceleration During Lane Changing in Work Zone Areas With the Aid of a Driving Simulator Experiment
The problem of modelling the lane-changing process in work zone areas is important. This study proposed a multistage analytic model based on driving simulator experiment. Several scenarios under … [Read more...] about A Multistage Analytic Model of the Longitudinal and Lateral Acceleration During Lane Changing in Work Zone Areas With the Aid of a Driving Simulator Experiment
Study on the Length of Median Opening in Expressway Reconstruction and Extension Work Zones
The opening length and influencing factors were studied aiming at the traffic of the two lanes at median opening section in expressway reconstruction and extension work zones. Based on the analysis of … [Read more...] about Study on the Length of Median Opening in Expressway Reconstruction and Extension Work Zones
Warrants and Recommendations on Using Temporary Work Zone Signs in High Wind Areas
Under high wind, temporary traffic signs in a work zone are possibly being knocked down, which is a safety threat to through traffic, and is one of major contributors of work zone related incidents. … [Read more...] about Warrants and Recommendations on Using Temporary Work Zone Signs in High Wind Areas
Fault-Tolerant Control of Variable Speed Limits for Freeway Work Zone Using Likelihood Estimation
Freeway work zone with lane closure can lead to disruption to local traffic and cause significant impacts on mobility, safety and environmental sustainability.
