Evaluation of End-of-Queue Crash Mitigation Strategies at Flagging Stations on Two-Lane Roads
The objective of this research project was to identify and evaluate strategies to mitigate end-of-queue crashes at flagging stations on two-lane roads. The research team evaluated the following … [Read more...] about Evaluation of End-of-Queue Crash Mitigation Strategies at Flagging Stations on Two-Lane Roads
Guide to Alternative Technologies for Preventing and Mitigating Vehicle Intrusions Into Highway Work Zones
Work zone intrusion technologies are designed to warn workers and drivers of potential intrusion, provide a barrier to prevent intrusion, detect and alert drivers and workers during intrusion, and/or … [Read more...] about Guide to Alternative Technologies for Preventing and Mitigating Vehicle Intrusions Into Highway Work Zones
Study of Improved Signal‐Based Merge Strategy in Work Zone Areas Based on Cellular Automata Simulation
Work zones have critical effects on traffic safety and efficiency. Previous researchers have developed lots of merge strategies to regulate drivers’ behaviours, which can be divided into early merge … [Read more...] about Study of Improved Signal‐Based Merge Strategy in Work Zone Areas Based on Cellular Automata Simulation
