Modeling Freeway Work Zones With Mesoscopic Dynamic Traffic Simulator: Validation, Gaps, and Guidance
This study developed a validation procedure for a dynamic traffic assignment—based mesoscopic simulator and identified its relevant data requirements. Model inconsistencies at the network level can be … [Read more...] about Modeling Freeway Work Zones With Mesoscopic Dynamic Traffic Simulator: Validation, Gaps, and Guidance
Evaluating the Effects of Queue Warning Systems on Freeway Work Zones Using Traffic Simulation Software
Work zones are a key component of the rehabilitation efforts that travelers on the U.S. national highway system interact with increasingly every day. Roadway construction, rehabilitation, and … [Read more...] about Evaluating the Effects of Queue Warning Systems on Freeway Work Zones Using Traffic Simulation Software
Integrating Activities Risk and Traffic Microsimulation Data for Temporal Risk Assessment in Construction Work Zones: A Proof of Concept
Construction work zones impose mobility constraints and remain major contributors toward incidents on our highways. Pro-active hazard identification and risk assessment is necessary in order to … [Read more...] about Integrating Activities Risk and Traffic Microsimulation Data for Temporal Risk Assessment in Construction Work Zones: A Proof of Concept
Work Zone Simulator Analysis: Driver Performance and Acceptance of Missouri Alternate Lane Shift Configurations
The objective of this project is to evaluate MoDOT’s alternate lane shift sign configuration for work zones. The single sign proposed by MoDOT provides the traveler with enough information to let them … [Read more...] about Work Zone Simulator Analysis: Driver Performance and Acceptance of Missouri Alternate Lane Shift Configurations
Simplified Web-Based Decision Support Method for Traffic Management and Work Zone Analysis
Traffic congestion mitigation is one of the key challenges that transportation planners and operations engineers face when planning for construction and maintenance activities.
