Evaluation of Work Zone Design Strategies: Quantifying the Impact of Driver Behavior on Traffic Flow and Safety
This paper presents an algorithm that considers the influence of driver behavior on traffic flow and safety when drivers encounter and respond to changing roadway conditions found in work zones. The … [Read more...] about Evaluation of Work Zone Design Strategies: Quantifying the Impact of Driver Behavior on Traffic Flow and Safety
Lane Occupancy Charges
Occupancy of travel lanes during construction and road maintenance are ordinary activities frequently undertaken to maintain the well-being of road infrastructure. When these activities take place … [Read more...] about Lane Occupancy Charges

In-Depth Analysis of Vehicle Following Gaps in Highway Work Zones: Direct and Interdependent Impact of Leading Vehicle
This paper analyzes the impacts of various vehicle following patterns on the vehicle following distance/gap in highway work zones. It studies the direct impact of leading vehicle on the vehicle … [Read more...] about In-Depth Analysis of Vehicle Following Gaps in Highway Work Zones: Direct and Interdependent Impact of Leading Vehicle
Field Evaluation of Variable Advisory Speed Limit System for Reducing Traffic Conflicts at Work Zones
A practical methodology to reduce the traffic conflicts at work zones was developed and evaluated in the field. The proposed system uses variable advisory speed limits that are determined with a … [Read more...] about Field Evaluation of Variable Advisory Speed Limit System for Reducing Traffic Conflicts at Work Zones
