Two Simplified Dynamic Lane Merging System (SDLMS) for Short Term Work Zones
ITS-based lane management technologies were introduced to work zones in an attempt to reduce congestions and diminish queue lengths. Two forms of lane merging namely the early merge and the late merge … [Read more...] about Two Simplified Dynamic Lane Merging System (SDLMS) for Short Term Work Zones
Integrated Work Zone Safety Management System and Analysis Tools
In Florida, despite recent efforts to improve work zone safety, the number of crashes and fatalities at work zones has increased continuously over several past years. For addressing the existing … [Read more...] about Integrated Work Zone Safety Management System and Analysis Tools
Lane-Based Dynamic Merge Control Strategy Based on Optimal Thresholds for Highway Work Zone Operations
Despite the potential effectiveness of the dynamic late merge (DLM) control, most existing DLM systems, based on static thresholds, cannot best perform under time-varying traffic conditions. This … [Read more...] about Lane-Based Dynamic Merge Control Strategy Based on Optimal Thresholds for Highway Work Zone Operations
