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
Rear End Crashes
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

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
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
