Time-Dependent Drivers’ Merging Behavior Model in Work Zone Merging Areas
This study investigates the drivers’ merging behavior in work zone merging areas during the entire merging implementation period from the time of starting a merging maneuver to that of completing the … [Read more...] about Time-Dependent Drivers’ Merging Behavior Model in Work Zone Merging Areas
Modeling Vehicle Merging Behavior in Work Zone Merging Areas During the Merging Implementation Period
Using the classification and regression tree (CART) method, this study aims to model the vehicle merging behavior at work zone merging areas during the merging implementation period. Hereafter, the … [Read more...] about Modeling Vehicle Merging Behavior in Work Zone Merging Areas During the Merging Implementation Period
In-Depth Analysis of Drivers’ Merging Behavior and Rear-End Crash Risks in Work Zone Merging Areas
This study investigates the drivers’ merging behavior and the rear-end crash risk in work zone merging areas during the entire merging implementation period from the time of starting a merging … [Read more...] about In-Depth Analysis of Drivers’ Merging Behavior and Rear-End Crash Risks in Work Zone Merging Areas
Effects of Work Zone Configurations and Traffic Density on Performance Variables and Subjective Workload
This paper investigates the effect of changing work zone configurations and traffic density on performance variables and subjective workload. Data regarding travel time, average speed, maximum percent … [Read more...] about Effects of Work Zone Configurations and Traffic Density on Performance Variables and Subjective Workload
Investigation of Alternative Work Zone Merging Sign Configurations
This study investigated the effect of an alternative merge sign configuration within a freeway work zone. In this alternative configuration, the graphical lane closed sign from the Manual on Uniform … [Read more...] about Investigation of Alternative Work Zone Merging Sign Configurations
