Estimation of Road User Costs for Work Zones in Data-Limited or Time-Constrained Environments
This paper considers the problem of estimating road user costs (RUCs), such as travel time and delays, for roadway construction projects under time and data limitations. RUCs measure the mobility … [Read more...] about Estimation of Road User Costs for Work Zones in Data-Limited or Time-Constrained Environments
A Generic Work Zone Evaluation Tool Driven by a Macroscopic Traffic Simulation Model
This study proposed a generic work zone evaluation tool driven by a dynamic macroscopic traffic model. The tool can investigate the effects of a work zone on freeway conditions. The classical freeway … [Read more...] about A Generic Work Zone Evaluation Tool Driven by a Macroscopic Traffic Simulation Model
Improvement of Highway Work Zone Performance by Traffic Management
This study investigates the effects of traffic management strategies on performance of a work zone along arterial roads. The strategies included Temporary Access Control (TAC), Limitation of Heavy … [Read more...] about Improvement of Highway Work Zone Performance by Traffic Management
Development of Breakdown Probability Models and Heavy Vehicle Passenger Car Equivalents for Rural Freeway Work Zones
With nearly nine million lane-miles of public roadway and an economy driven by the automobile, interruptions to normal traffic operations for construction and maintenance are inevitable in the U.S.A., … [Read more...] about Development of Breakdown Probability Models and Heavy Vehicle Passenger Car Equivalents for Rural Freeway Work Zones
Simulation and Evaluation of Speed and Lane-Changing Advisory of CAVS at Work Zones in Heterogeneous Traffic Flow
Emerging connected autonomous vehicle (CAV) technologies provide an opportunity to the vehicle motion control to improve the traffic performance. This study simulated and evaluated the CAV-based speed … [Read more...] about Simulation and Evaluation of Speed and Lane-Changing Advisory of CAVS at Work Zones in Heterogeneous Traffic Flow
