Simulation of Roadside LiDAR Applications: A Smart Work Zone Case Study
Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) have the capability to detect 360-degree surrounding objects with high accuracy (centimeter level), high frequency (a tenth of a second), and long measuring … [Read more...] about Simulation of Roadside LiDAR Applications: A Smart Work Zone Case Study
Method for Estimating Capacity and Measures of Effectiveness of Two-Lane Highway Work Zones
The present study proposes a method for determining the capacity and measures of effectiveness of two-lane highway work zones. Therefore, a deterministic mathematical formulation was developed based … [Read more...] about Method for Estimating Capacity and Measures of Effectiveness of Two-Lane Highway Work Zones
Revealing the Impact of Mainstream Disruptions on On-Ramp Merging Behavior—A Virtual Reality (VR) Approach Using Work Zone Case Studies
Infrastructure disruptions such as lane closures present traffic efficiency and road safety challenges, especially on freeways. Such impacts become more significant when combined with compulsory … [Read more...] about Revealing the Impact of Mainstream Disruptions on On-Ramp Merging Behavior—A Virtual Reality (VR) Approach Using Work Zone Case Studies
Calibration and Validation of a Microsimulation Model of Lane Closures on a Two-Lane Highway Work Zone
Lane closure on a two-lane work zone can negatively affect operational performance. Although a microsimulation model is often used to quantify and predict these negative impacts, it requires proper … [Read more...] about Calibration and Validation of a Microsimulation Model of Lane Closures on a Two-Lane Highway Work Zone
A Sensor-Based Method to Detect Near-Miss Struck-By on Construction Site
As a precursor of serious accident, near-miss incidents are of great significance to construction safety management. A real-time detection method for near-miss incidents can improve the performance of … [Read more...] about A Sensor-Based Method to Detect Near-Miss Struck-By on Construction Site
