Mobility and Safety Impacts of Work Zone Lane and Shoulder Widths
The goal of this project was to quantify the mobility and safety impacts of different combinations of lane width and shy distance to a barrier for a given paved width. The research team developed a … [Read more...] about Mobility and Safety Impacts of Work Zone Lane and Shoulder Widths
Work-Zone Safety Analysis: Evaluating Rear-End Crash Risk With Extreme Value Theory
This research paper addresses the critical issue of work-zone safety, specifically focusing on the transition area where one or more lanes are reduced, leading to merging operations. Given the limited … [Read more...] about Work-Zone Safety Analysis: Evaluating Rear-End Crash Risk With Extreme Value Theory
Smart Work Zone Control and Performance Evaluation Based on Trajectory Data
Work zone control strategies, such as taper length and transverse rumble strips, have the potential to significantly impact traffic operations and safety. The performance of these strategies is often … [Read more...] about Smart Work Zone Control and Performance Evaluation Based on Trajectory Data
