Each year at least 300 traffic accidents occur in connection to road work in Sweden in which people are injured or killed. The two types of accidents that are most common are rear-end collisions and … [Read more...] about Traffic Accidents in Connection to Road Work in Sweden
Rear End Crashes
Flagger Effects in Reducing the Likelihood of Rear-End Collisions for In-Platoon Vehicles in Work Zones
Rear-end collisions are among the most dominant crash types in work zones. Three factors may increase the potential of rear-end collisions in work zones: following too closely, speeding, and faster … [Read more...] about Flagger Effects in Reducing the Likelihood of Rear-End Collisions for In-Platoon Vehicles in Work Zones

Rear-End Crash Potential Estimation in the Work Zone Merging Areas
This paper proposed a methodology to estimate rear-end crash potential of the merging vehicles traveling in the merge lane, on the basis of the traffic data extracting from the available videotapes. … [Read more...] about Rear-End Crash Potential Estimation in the Work Zone Merging Areas
Flagger Effects in Reducing Likelihood of Rear-End Collisions in Work Zones
Rear-end collisions are among the most dominant crash types in work zones. This study explores the effectiveness of flaggers in reducing the frequency of very short headways and the likelihood of … [Read more...] about Flagger Effects in Reducing Likelihood of Rear-End Collisions in Work Zones
Evaluation of Rear-End Crash Risk at Work Zone Using Work Zone Traffic Data
This paper aims to evaluate the rear-end crash risk at work zone activity area and merging area, as well as analyze the impacts of contributing factors by using work zone traffic data. Here, the … [Read more...] about Evaluation of Rear-End Crash Risk at Work Zone Using Work Zone Traffic Data
