Characterizing the Impact of Nighttime Construction on Traffic-Related Emissions
Nighttime road maintenance and construction work is most commonly initiated where it is impractical or highly undesired to close traffic lanes on certain high-volume roadways during normal daylight … [Read more...] about Characterizing the Impact of Nighttime Construction on Traffic-Related Emissions
Impact of Temporary Portable Work Zone and Personal Lighting on Vehicle Speeds in Nighttime Highway Preservation Projects
Every year thousands of people are killed or injured in work zone crashes in the US due to excessive speed, distraction, inattentiveness, or low visibility. Many highway construction, maintenance, and … [Read more...] about Impact of Temporary Portable Work Zone and Personal Lighting on Vehicle Speeds in Nighttime Highway Preservation Projects
Multicontextual Machine-Learning Approach to Modeling Traffic Impact of Urban Highway Work Zones
Impact assessments of highway construction work zones (CWZs) are mandated for all federally funded highway infrastructure improvement projects. However, most existing approaches are ad hoc or project … [Read more...] about Multicontextual Machine-Learning Approach to Modeling Traffic Impact of Urban Highway Work Zones
