An Immersive Virtual Learning Environment for Worker-Robot Collaboration on Construction Sites
This paper presents a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) that simulates the collaboration between a construction robot and a construction worker in order to support training in worker-robot teamwork … [Read more...] about An Immersive Virtual Learning Environment for Worker-Robot Collaboration on Construction Sites
Immersive Virtual Reality Training for Inspecting Flagger Work Zones
Construction and maintenance work on roads pose safety risks to both drivers and workers. The responsible agencies regularly inspect work zones for compliance with traffic control and signage … [Read more...] about Immersive Virtual Reality Training for Inspecting Flagger Work Zones
Application of Augmented Reality and Tangible Interfaces to Minimize Work Zone Effects on Mobility Through Participatory Planning
Highway work zones account for about 10 percent of congestion but are an absolute necessity in ensuring that our transportation infrastructure can meet the mobility demands of growing populations. … [Read more...] about Application of Augmented Reality and Tangible Interfaces to Minimize Work Zone Effects on Mobility Through Participatory Planning
Spatial-Temporal Varying Coefficient Model for Lane-Changing Behavior in Work Zone Merging Areas
This study investigates the lane-changing behavior in work zone merging areas during the period from the time of starting a lane-changing maneuver to that of completing the lane-changing maneuver. … [Read more...] about Spatial-Temporal Varying Coefficient Model for Lane-Changing Behavior in Work Zone Merging Areas
Estimation of Road User Costs for Work Zones in Data-Limited or Time-Constrained Environments
This paper considers the problem of estimating road user costs (RUCs), such as travel time and delays, for roadway construction projects under time and data limitations. RUCs measure the mobility … [Read more...] about Estimation of Road User Costs for Work Zones in Data-Limited or Time-Constrained Environments
