Merging Control

Study of Improved Signal-Based Merge Strategy in Work Zone Areas Based on Cellular Automata Simulation

Work zones have critical effects on traffic safety and efficiency. Previous researchers have developed lots of merge strategies to regulate drivers’ behaviours, which can be divided into early merge … [Read more...] about Study of Improved Signal-Based Merge Strategy in Work Zone Areas Based on Cellular Automata Simulation

Optimizing Work Zone Zipper Merge Using Federated Driving Simulators

Several Departments of Transportation have implemented the zipper merge to counter the issues of wasted capacity and queue jumping that surface at early merge work zones. This project researched four … [Read more...] about Optimizing Work Zone Zipper Merge Using Federated Driving Simulators

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
