Influence Range and Traffic Risk Analysis of Moving Work Zones on Urban Roads
There is a body of literature on the influence range and traffic risk of fixed work zones. However, relatively few studies have examined the effect of ubiquitous moving operating vehicles, such as … [Read more...] about Influence Range and Traffic Risk Analysis of Moving Work Zones on Urban Roads
Development of a Virtual-Reality Based Immersive and Integrated Traffic Simulation Platform for Studying Traffic Work Zone Safety Problems
Although there have been efforts to achieve the zero deaths on horizontal construction projects, undesired crashes within work zones continue to happen, highlighting the need for continuous studies on … [Read more...] about Development of a Virtual-Reality Based Immersive and Integrated Traffic Simulation Platform for Studying Traffic Work Zone Safety Problems
Safety Impact of Connected Vehicles on Driver Behavior in Rural Work Zones Under Foggy Weather Conditions
Work zone safety is one of the paramount goals of the safety community. The safety concerns in work zones might be exacerbated under foggy conditions, as an exogenous factor, contributing to high … [Read more...] about Safety Impact of Connected Vehicles on Driver Behavior in Rural Work Zones Under Foggy Weather Conditions
Application of Augmented Reality and Tangible Interfaces to Minimize Work Zone Effects on Mobility Through Participatory Planning
Highway work zones account for about 10 percent of congestion but are an absolute necessity in ensuring that our transportation infrastructure can meet the mobility demands of growing populations. … [Read more...] about Application of Augmented Reality and Tangible Interfaces to Minimize Work Zone Effects on Mobility Through Participatory Planning
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
