Optimization of Work Zone Schedule Considering Time-Varying Traffic Diversion
Highway maintenance may cause excessive delay on transportation corridors and networks. Diverting traffic from congested highway work zones and accelerating maintenance progress can mitigate the … [Read more...] about Optimization of Work Zone Schedule Considering Time-Varying Traffic Diversion
Feasibility of Visualization and Simulation Applications to Improve Work Zone Safety and Mobility
Visualization is a relatively recent tool available to engineers for enhancing transportation project design through improved communication, decision making, and stakeholder feedback. Current … [Read more...] about Feasibility of Visualization and Simulation Applications to Improve Work Zone Safety and Mobility
Optimizing Highway Performance: Meeting the Customers’ Needs
To preserve and enhance the Nation's highway network and meet the challenges of continued growth, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is developing a new program initiative called "Optimizing … [Read more...] about Optimizing Highway Performance: Meeting the Customers’ Needs
Validation of a Model for Predicting Schedule Changes in Highway Work Zones-Case Studies
There are currently no standard or accepted methods in the construction industry to calculate the probable impact of indirect cost factors on the schedule of highway work zone projects. This paper … [Read more...] about Validation of a Model for Predicting Schedule Changes in Highway Work Zones-Case Studies
Model for Analysis of Factors Affecting Construction Schedule in Highway Work Zones
In highway construction, it is not only important to understand the factors that affect the schedule but also to evaluate their probable severity and impact on project duration. However, there is … [Read more...] about Model for Analysis of Factors Affecting Construction Schedule in Highway Work Zones
