Merging Control

Improving Work Zone Mobility Through Planning, Design, and Operations

This research project consists of a series of tasks intended to yield results that will better inform transportation agencies in their planning, design, and operations of freeway work zones. This … [Read more...] about Improving Work Zone Mobility Through Planning, Design, and Operations

A Platoon Regulation Algorithm to Improve the Traffic Performance of Highway Work Zones

This paper presents a cooperative traffic control strategy to increase the capacity of nonrecurrent bottlenecks such as work zones by making full use of the spatial resources upstream of work zones. … [Read more...] about A Platoon Regulation Algorithm to Improve the Traffic Performance of Highway Work Zones

Exploring Work Zone Late Merge Strategies With and Without Enabling Connected Vehicles Technologies

Typical traffic control and operations at work zones are not effective in mitigating the work zone bottleneck, as the common early merge behavior limits utilizing the available capacity in the closed … [Read more...] about Exploring Work Zone Late Merge Strategies With and Without Enabling Connected Vehicles Technologies

Integrated Control Method for Freeway Work Zones Under Partially Connected Vehicle Environment

Highway work zones can cause traffic congestion and even traffic accidents. Dynamic lane merging (DM) and variable speed limit (VSL) systems are possible solutions to improve the efficiency of work … [Read more...] about Integrated Control Method for Freeway Work Zones Under Partially Connected Vehicle Environment

ADOT Testing Smart Work Zone Along I-40 to Make Work Zones Safer for Everyone: Agency looking to get real-time info to drivers, smooth merging

In order to increase safety and mobility in highway work zones, the Arizona Department of Transportation is studying a dynamic merge system, a specific type of smart work zone, at an existing I-40 … [Read more...] about ADOT Testing Smart Work Zone Along I-40 to Make Work Zones Safer for Everyone: Agency looking to get real-time info to drivers, smooth merging

New England Merge: A Novel Cooperative Merge Control Method for Improving Highway Work Zone Mobility and Safety

Given the aging infrastructure and the anticipated growing number of highway work zones in the United States, it is important to investigate methods to improve work zone mobility and safety. Data … [Read more...] about New England Merge: A Novel Cooperative Merge Control Method for Improving Highway Work Zone Mobility and Safety
