QuickZone Improvement for Rural Freeway and Model Validation
This review indicated that in QuickZone 2.0 a deterministic queuing model is applied to calculate the delays for oversaturated conditions; stochastic and speed reduction delays were not included. Data … [Read more...] about QuickZone Improvement for Rural Freeway and Model Validation
Passenger Car Equivalents for Heavy Vehicles in Work Zones
There are no Passenger Car Equivalents (PCE) values developed for work zones. Consequently the PCE values of basic freeway section are borrowed despite the reservations about their applicability to … [Read more...] about Passenger Car Equivalents for Heavy Vehicles in Work Zones
Using Simulation Models to Assess the Impacts of Highway Work Zone Strategies: Case Studies Along Interstate Highways in Massachusetts and Rhode Island
As the National Highway System reaches the end of its serviceable life, it becomes necessary for transportation agencies to focus on the preservation, rehabilitation, and maintenance of these roads. … [Read more...] about Using Simulation Models to Assess the Impacts of Highway Work Zone Strategies: Case Studies Along Interstate Highways in Massachusetts and Rhode Island
Simulation Trials on an Unconventional Alternative to Congestion Mitigation and Traffic Control at Highway Work-Zone Bottlenecks using Advanced Technologies
This paper presents a method to integrate the Dynamic Late Merge with a merge metering via wireless communication at the downstream taper area of a work zone, termed as Dynamic Merge Metering Traffic … [Read more...] about Simulation Trials on an Unconventional Alternative to Congestion Mitigation and Traffic Control at Highway Work-Zone Bottlenecks using Advanced Technologies
A Hybrid Process of Micro-Simulation and Logistic Regression for Short-Term Work Zone Traffic Diversion
The rapidly growing number of work zones on the Interstate highway system is having significant operational impacts due to the temporary loss of capacity. Work zone impact on safety and mobility … [Read more...] about A Hybrid Process of Micro-Simulation and Logistic Regression for Short-Term Work Zone Traffic Diversion
