Oklahoma DOT Pilot Tests Dedicated Work Zone ‘Rescue Trucks’
To reduce crashes and congestion in the work zone, the Oklahoma Department of Transportation launches “GO-DOT,” a pilot program which dedicates two rescue trucks to remove stranded or wrecked vehicles … [Read more...] about Oklahoma DOT Pilot Tests Dedicated Work Zone ‘Rescue Trucks’
ODOT to Keep Traffic on the ‘GO’ in I-235 Work Zone with New Program
Stranded vehicles inside a highway work zone can cause significant delays for motorists. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation has launched GO-DOT, a new pilot program designed to quickly move … [Read more...] about ODOT to Keep Traffic on the ‘GO’ in I-235 Work Zone with New Program
A Particle Swarm Optimization Framework for Calibration of Driver Behavior Models at a Work Zone
Traffic impact assessment is a key step in the process of work zone planning and scheduling for transportation agencies. Microscopic traffic simulation models enable transportation agencies to conduct … [Read more...] about A Particle Swarm Optimization Framework for Calibration of Driver Behavior Models at a Work Zone
Evaluation of Variable Advisory Speed Limits in Congested Work Zones
The effectiveness of variable “advisory” speed limit (VASL) systems in congested urban work zones was investigated. Except for one publication, all previous studies focused on regulatory speed limit … [Read more...] about Evaluation of Variable Advisory Speed Limits in Congested Work Zones
Integrating Regional Travel Forecasting Model and Microscopic Traffic Model to Assist Highway Work Zone Mobility Analysis
Highways and bridges constitute a nation’s ground transportation infrastructure system to meet a society’s mobility needs, whereas their construction activities frequently cause traffic congestions as … [Read more...] about Integrating Regional Travel Forecasting Model and Microscopic Traffic Model to Assist Highway Work Zone Mobility Analysis
