Issues With Work Zone Free Flow Speed Computation in 6th Edition HCM and Proposed Improvements
Free flow speed (FFS) and capacity of work zones (WZ) directly affect queue length and delay in the WZ. The 6th Edition of Highway Capacity Manual introduced a new model to estimate WZ FFS and … [Read more...] about Issues With Work Zone Free Flow Speed Computation in 6th Edition HCM and Proposed Improvements
The Influence of Work Zone Management on User Carbon Dioxide Emissions in Life Cycle Assessment on Highway Pavement Maintenance
The higher contribution of traffic delay to environmental impacts is urging the highway agencies to take work zone management into the maintenance schemes decision-making. Aiming to understand the … [Read more...] about The Influence of Work Zone Management on User Carbon Dioxide Emissions in Life Cycle Assessment on Highway Pavement Maintenance

Road Work Ahead: Using Deep Neural Networks to Estimate the Impacts of Work Zones
Roadside construction – be it a detour, a closed lane, or a slow weave past workers and equipment – work zones impact traffic flow and travel times on a system-wide level. The ability to predict … [Read more...] about Road Work Ahead: Using Deep Neural Networks to Estimate the Impacts of Work Zones
Bi-Level Optimization of Long-Term Highway Work Zone Scheduling Considering Elastic Demand
Purpose More and more work zone projects come with the needs of new construction and regular maintenance-related investments in transportation. Work zone projects can have many significant impacts … [Read more...] about Bi-Level Optimization of Long-Term Highway Work Zone Scheduling Considering Elastic Demand
