Driver Comprehension of Lane Reduction Signage: Alternatives to the MUTCD W4-2 for Work Zones
Many work zones require lane closures, and road users need to be notified of these closures through appropriate upstream signage. Inadequate driver comprehension of the existing U.S. standard lane … [Read more...] about Driver Comprehension of Lane Reduction Signage: Alternatives to the MUTCD W4-2 for Work Zones
Orange Work Zone Pavement Marking Midwest Field Test
Roadway lanes are often repositioned to accommodate highway work operations, resulting in a need to alter pavement markings. Even the most effective methods for removing old pavement markings … [Read more...] about Orange Work Zone Pavement Marking Midwest Field Test
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
Effects of Roadway Factors and Demographic Characteristics on Drivers’ Perceived Complexity of Simulated Roadway Videos
