Huge Roadwork Delays Caused by Failure to Collect Signs
New data reveals significant disruption from utility roadworks in Norfolk, with companies overrunning projects by more than 1,300 days in 2024. Anglian Water received the most fines, often for failing … [Read more...] about Huge Roadwork Delays Caused by Failure to Collect Signs
Forecasting Traffic Flow by Vehicle Category on a Major Highway Impacted by Road Maintenance Works
In this paper the authors look at the forecasting of traffic flow on a major highway in the Netherlands impacted by road maintenance works, examining the effects of lane closures on intensities per … [Read more...] about Forecasting Traffic Flow by Vehicle Category on a Major Highway Impacted by Road Maintenance Works
Towards Improved Traffic Impact Assessments for Construction Sites: Lessons Learned From Developing a SUMO-Based Prototype in Berlin
The coordination of construction sites in urban areas is increasingly critical to minimizing their traffic impact. Traditionally, traffic assessments were conducted late in the planning process, … [Read more...] about Towards Improved Traffic Impact Assessments for Construction Sites: Lessons Learned From Developing a SUMO-Based Prototype in Berlin
Simulation Study of Freeway Work Zone Scenes for Autonomous Driving Using Simulink and PreScan
To solve the problem of high traffic accident rates in freeway work zones, an in-depth analysis of freeway work zone scenes under an autonomous driving environment was conducted, and traffic conflicts … [Read more...] about Simulation Study of Freeway Work Zone Scenes for Autonomous Driving Using Simulink and PreScan
Evaluating Traffic Conflicts and Crash Risk in Nighttime Maintenance Operation Areas of Highways Using Vehicles’ Trajectory Data
Highway pavement maintenance operations are increasingly conducted at night, when lane reduction combined with the complexity of nighttime conditions elevates driving risks within maintenance … [Read more...] about Evaluating Traffic Conflicts and Crash Risk in Nighttime Maintenance Operation Areas of Highways Using Vehicles’ Trajectory Data
