Optimal Trade-Offs between Construction Cost and Traffic Delay for Highway Work Zones
Highway work zones often cause traffic congestion, resulting in increased road-user delays and vehicle emissions. These negative impacts of highway work zones can be minimized by a number of … [Read more...] about Optimal Trade-Offs between Construction Cost and Traffic Delay for Highway Work Zones
Optimizing Scheduling of Long-Term Highway Work Zone Projects
The impacts of work zone activities can be summarized into the following types: safety impact (on both motorists and workers), mobility impact, economic considerations, environmental concerns, user … [Read more...] about Optimizing Scheduling of Long-Term Highway Work Zone Projects
Application of Work Zone Road User Costs to Determine Schedule-Related Incentives and Disincentives: Conceptual Framework
Time-related contract clauses are primarily designed to encourage contractors through incentives and disincentives to complete construction projects on or ahead of schedule. Highway agencies have … [Read more...] about Application of Work Zone Road User Costs to Determine Schedule-Related Incentives and Disincentives: Conceptual Framework
Work Zone Planning in Pavement Rehabilitation: Integrating Cost, Duration, and User Effects
This paper describes a methodology developed to support decision makers in planning work zones for pavement maintenance and rehabilitation interventions, integrating cost, duration, and user effects. … [Read more...] about Work Zone Planning in Pavement Rehabilitation: Integrating Cost, Duration, and User Effects
Optimization of Renewal-Based Project Scheduling in an Urban Network
In this paper we develop a mathematical decision model and solution method to schedule the sequence of work zones before construction starts. The model is distinguished to quantitatively measure the … [Read more...] about Optimization of Renewal-Based Project Scheduling in an Urban Network
