Optimization Method for Traffic Management in Port Distribution Road Work Zones Using the SUMO Simulation Platform
Lane closures during the maintenance of port distribution road work zones lead to vehicle queues, severely affecting port efficiency and increasing traffic congestion and accident risks. To address … [Read more...] about Optimization Method for Traffic Management in Port Distribution Road Work Zones Using the SUMO Simulation Platform
VR-WISE: VR Based Work Zone Immersive Simulation With Eye Tracking and Biometric Sensors for Capturing Driver’s Awareness
Safety in roadway work zones remains a major challenge: accidents often stem from unpredictable driver and worker behavior, underscoring the need to understand their interactions and perceptions. … [Read more...] about VR-WISE: VR Based Work Zone Immersive Simulation With Eye Tracking and Biometric Sensors for Capturing Driver’s Awareness
Deriving Workload From Driving Behavior and Psycho-Physiology in Work Zones
Due to atypical driving scenarios, work zones may increase driving uncertainty, elevate behavioral deviations and intensify psychological workload, potentially pose risks and even lead to crashes. … [Read more...] about Deriving Workload From Driving Behavior and Psycho-Physiology in Work Zones
Real-Time Driver Alerts to Improve CMV Safety in California Work Zones: A Naturalistic Study
Commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) are disproportionately involved in crashes around work zones. We seek to reduce these crashes via location-based in-cab alerts ahead of work zone activity. It was … [Read more...] about Real-Time Driver Alerts to Improve CMV Safety in California Work Zones: A Naturalistic Study
Audible Alert and TMA Lighting
Truck Mounted Attenuators (TMAs) are designed to mitigate crash severity. Currently, TMA drivers rely on visual checks via driving mirrors to manually trigger warnings thus placing the duty on … [Read more...] about Audible Alert and TMA Lighting
