Work Zone Analysis Model for the Signalized Arterial
The purpose of this paper is to illustrate new theoretical concepts used to represent traffic flow in work zones. The paper presents the development and applications of a microcomputer program--Work … [Read more...] about Work Zone Analysis Model for the Signalized Arterial
Artwork: A Simulation Model of Urban Arterial Work Zones
Several studies pertaining to the modeling of freeway and arterial traffic movements were reviewed, but none of them were applicable to lane closure in construction work zone on arterials. Hence the … [Read more...] about Artwork: A Simulation Model of Urban Arterial Work Zones
Computer Model for Evaluating and Scheduling Freeway Work-Zone Lane Closures
QUEWZ is a computer model that was developed in 1982 as a tool for planning and scheduling freeway work-zone operations. The model analyzes traffic flow through lane closures in freeway work zones and … [Read more...] about Computer Model for Evaluating and Scheduling Freeway Work-Zone Lane Closures
Flow Characteristics at Freeway Lane Closures
The findings of a limited study aimed at examining the basic characteristics of freeway traffic flow at construction zones are presented. The intent is to expand the scope of previous research efforts … [Read more...] about Flow Characteristics at Freeway Lane Closures
Potential Impact of Speed Reduction at Freeway Lane Closures: A Simulation Study (abridgement)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential impact of reduced speed limits at temporary freeway lane closures at work zones at arbitrarily assumed levels of compliance. Although some … [Read more...] about Potential Impact of Speed Reduction at Freeway Lane Closures: A Simulation Study (abridgement)
