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)
Examination of the Effect of Driver Population at Freeway Reconstruction Zones
This paper presents an investigation into the effect of the driver population factor on the capacity of long-term freeway reconstruction zones. A major reconstruction project in Ontario, Canada … [Read more...] about Examination of the Effect of Driver Population at Freeway Reconstruction Zones
Evaluation of Traffic Flow Analysis Tools Applied to Work Zones Based on Flow Data Collected in the Field
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has identified the maintenance of traffic (MOT) as a top priority to serve the motoring public as part of a department strategic initiative. A key … [Read more...] about Evaluation of Traffic Flow Analysis Tools Applied to Work Zones Based on Flow Data Collected in the Field
Functional Requirements of Advanced Traffic Management Systems for Improving Work Zone Traffic Flow
The overall goal of this research was to develop recommendations for Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) to improve traffic flow through work zones. The recommendations were created for general … [Read more...] about Functional Requirements of Advanced Traffic Management Systems for Improving Work Zone Traffic Flow
