Rear-end collisions in work zones, particularly those resulting from tailgating, pose a significant safety challenge that has not been adequately addressed in road safety research. Existing studies … [Read more...] about Enhancing Work Zone Safety: A Psychological and Behavioral Analysis of Anti-Tailgating Strategies Using Dynamic Message Signs and Fixed Warning Signs
Rear End Crashes
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
Investigation of Factors Affecting Crash Severity of Rear-End Crashes With High Collision Speeds in Work Zones: A South Carolina Case Study
The aim of this study is to identify factors that affect injury severity levels of work zone rear-end crashes with high collision speeds (35 mi/hr). Using statewide crash data provided by the South … [Read more...] about Investigation of Factors Affecting Crash Severity of Rear-End Crashes With High Collision Speeds in Work Zones: A South Carolina Case Study
Effect of Construction Work Zone on Rear-End Conflicts by Vehicle Type Under Heterogeneous Traffic Conditions
Road transportation is a critical mode of transportation because of its mobility characteristics. Road construction work zones (WZ) are widespread on roads because of increased travel demand. Thus, it … [Read more...] about Effect of Construction Work Zone on Rear-End Conflicts by Vehicle Type Under Heterogeneous Traffic Conditions

In-Vehicle Warnings for Work Zone and Related Rear-End Collisions: A Driving Simulator Experiment
Work zone area on roads is a critical component of road networks which concerns the safety of workers and passing by drivers. However, the passive speed reduction and lane changes caused by lane … [Read more...] about In-Vehicle Warnings for Work Zone and Related Rear-End Collisions: A Driving Simulator Experiment
