Delay or Travel Time Information? The Impact of Advanced Traveler Information Systems on Drivers’ Behavior Before Freeway Work Zones
Peak travel times contribute to congestion formation at freeway work zones. Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) can inform drivers in real-time about the delays and travel times en-route and … [Read more...] about Delay or Travel Time Information? The Impact of Advanced Traveler Information Systems on Drivers’ Behavior Before Freeway Work Zones
Quantitatively Evaluate Work Zone Driver Behavior Using 2D Imaging, 3D LiDAR, and Artificial Intelligence in Support of Congestion Mitigation Model Calibration and Validation
This project addressed the following: 1) a lack of a system to process raw traffic footage obtained from work zones to extract traffic and driver behavior information, especially systems that leverage … [Read more...] about Quantitatively Evaluate Work Zone Driver Behavior Using 2D Imaging, 3D LiDAR, and Artificial Intelligence in Support of Congestion Mitigation Model Calibration and Validation
Safety Impact of Connected Vehicles on Driver Behavior in Rural Work Zones Under Foggy Weather Conditions
Work zone (WZ) safety is one of the paramount goals of the safety community. Safety in WZs is a particular concern under foggy conditions as they represent an exogenous factor contributing to high … [Read more...] about Safety Impact of Connected Vehicles on Driver Behavior in Rural Work Zones Under Foggy Weather Conditions
Impact of Road Environment on Drivers’ Preference to Merging Location Selection in Freeway Work Zone Merging Areas
In view of the compulsory merging behavior and complex driving environment in freeway work zones, the factors influencing drivers’ merging behavior need to be focused on the given road environment. … [Read more...] about Impact of Road Environment on Drivers’ Preference to Merging Location Selection in Freeway Work Zone Merging Areas
Prioritized Safety Consideration by Work Zone Types and Pilot Implementation
With the growing need for maintenance or reconstruction of existing infrastructure and the construction of new infrastructure, work zone (WZ) setup and management are important for the safe and … [Read more...] about Prioritized Safety Consideration by Work Zone Types and Pilot Implementation
