Simulation of Roadside LiDAR Applications: A Smart Work Zone Case Study

Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) have the capability to detect 360-degree surrounding objects with high accuracy (centimeter level), high frequency (a tenth of a second), and long measuring … [Read more...] about Simulation of Roadside LiDAR Applications: A Smart Work Zone Case Study

Revealing the Impact of Mainstream Disruptions on On-Ramp Merging Behavior—A Virtual Reality (VR) Approach Using Work Zone Case Studies

Infrastructure disruptions such as lane closures present traffic efficiency and road safety challenges, especially on freeways. Such impacts become more significant when combined with compulsory … [Read more...] about Revealing the Impact of Mainstream Disruptions on On-Ramp Merging Behavior—A Virtual Reality (VR) Approach Using Work Zone Case Studies

Calibration and Validation of a Microsimulation Model of Lane Closures on a Two-Lane Highway Work Zone

Lane closure on a two-lane work zone can negatively affect operational performance. Although a microsimulation model is often used to quantify and predict these negative impacts, it requires proper … [Read more...] about Calibration and Validation of a Microsimulation Model of Lane Closures on a Two-Lane Highway Work Zone

A Sensor-Based Method to Detect Near-Miss Struck-By on Construction Site

As a precursor of serious accident, near-miss incidents are of great significance to construction safety management. A real-time detection method for near-miss incidents can improve the performance of … [Read more...] about A Sensor-Based Method to Detect Near-Miss Struck-By on Construction Site

Connected Simulation for Work Zone Safety Applications

Every year, over 60,000 work zone crashes are reported in the United States. Such work zone crashes have resulted in over 4,400 fatal and 200,000 non-fatal injuries in the last 5 years. Apart from the … [Read more...] about Connected Simulation for Work Zone Safety Applications

Use of Virtual Reality to Minimize the Spread of COVID-19 on Construction Sites

The University of New Brunswick (UNB) first developed a virtual reality documentation (VR Doc) system in 2006 and has continued to make improvements. VR Doc has evolved into a web-based interface for … [Read more...] about Use of Virtual Reality to Minimize the Spread of COVID-19 on Construction Sites
