Traffic Conflicts in the Lane-Switching Sections at Highway Reconstruction Zones
Introduction: There are designated sections for lane-shifting in several highway reconstruction and expansion zones. Similar to the bottleneck sections of highways, these sections are characterized by … [Read more...] about Traffic Conflicts in the Lane-Switching Sections at Highway Reconstruction Zones
Work Zone Capacity Estimation for High Truck Volume Routes in Arkansas: Predicting Highway Capacity through Work Zones With High Truck Volumes and Reduced Lane Geometry Based Upon Local Conditions
Work zones on freeways are estimated to contribute to nearly 24 percent of non‐recurring delay. Prior to 2010, the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) provided limited guidance on vehicular capacity … [Read more...] about Work Zone Capacity Estimation for High Truck Volume Routes in Arkansas: Predicting Highway Capacity through Work Zones With High Truck Volumes and Reduced Lane Geometry Based Upon Local Conditions
