Injury Severity of Truck-Involved Crashes in Work Zones on Rural and Urban Highways: Accounting for Unobserved Heterogeneity
Truck-related crashes in the work zones always resulted in severe injury outcomes. This paper analyses the injury severity of truck-involved crashes in the work zones based on a ten-year (2005–2014) … [Read more...] about Injury Severity of Truck-Involved Crashes in Work Zones on Rural and Urban Highways: Accounting for Unobserved Heterogeneity
Toward AI-Enabled Augmented Reality to Enhance the Safety of Highway Work Zones: Feasibility, Requirements, and Challenges
Highway work zones are considered among the most hazardous working environments. In 2018 alone, 124 workers lost their lives to fatal accidents. The lack of predictive safety systems that notify … [Read more...] about Toward AI-Enabled Augmented Reality to Enhance the Safety of Highway Work Zones: Feasibility, Requirements, and Challenges
