Micro-Level Analysis on Traffic Flow Parameters at Work-Zone Road Section Using Vehicular Trajectory Data
The research work is carried out to examine microscopic and macroscopic traffic parameters at work zone on high speed urban roads. Due to construction of elevated metro rail project over the study … [Read more...] about Micro-Level Analysis on Traffic Flow Parameters at Work-Zone Road Section Using Vehicular Trajectory Data
Intelligent Work Zone System and Connected Vehicle Technologies to Reduce Crashes in Roadway Construction Area
Even though a lot of countermeasures have been implemented in construction area (or called work zone), there are still many crashes in work zone reported in the United States. Angle and rear-end … [Read more...] about Intelligent Work Zone System and Connected Vehicle Technologies to Reduce Crashes in Roadway Construction Area
Safety Impacts of Queue Warning in a Connected Vehicle Environment
Queue warning systems (QWSs) have been implemented to increase traffic safety by informing drivers about queued traffic ahead so that they can react in a timely manner to the queue. Existing QWSs rely … [Read more...] about Safety Impacts of Queue Warning in a Connected Vehicle Environment
