Modeling and Operational Performance Evaluation of Driveway Assistance Devices for Lane Closures on Two-Lane Highway Work Zones
Lane closures on two-lane highways due to work zone activities negatively impact traffic operational performance. In addition, traffic from access points (e.g., commercial and residential driveways or … [Read more...] about Modeling and Operational Performance Evaluation of Driveway Assistance Devices for Lane Closures on Two-Lane Highway Work Zones
Remotely Controlled Traffic Signals Paving Future of Highway Construction Safety
At the Western Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (WASHTO) conference in Missoula, Montana, roadway safety took center stage with the unveiling of an innovative, remotely … [Read more...] about Remotely Controlled Traffic Signals Paving Future of Highway Construction Safety
Exploring the Feasibility and Sensitivity of Deep Reinforcement Learning Controlled Traffic Signals in Bidirectional Two-Lane Road Work Zones
Reconstruction of bidirectional two-lane roads typically necessitates closing one lane, with traffic signal control (TSC) implemented to prevent direct conflicts between opposing traffic flows. First, … [Read more...] about Exploring the Feasibility and Sensitivity of Deep Reinforcement Learning Controlled Traffic Signals in Bidirectional Two-Lane Road Work Zones
Research Explores Safer Work Zones for Flaggers
Highway workers face significant dangers, exacerbated by erratic driver behavior in work zones. In response, agencies like the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) have pursued innovative … [Read more...] about Research Explores Safer Work Zones for Flaggers
Evaluation of End-of-Queue Crash Mitigation Strategies at Flagging Stations on Two-Lane Roads
The objective of this research project was to identify and evaluate strategies to mitigate end-of-queue crashes at flagging stations on two-lane roads. The research team evaluated the following … [Read more...] about Evaluation of End-of-Queue Crash Mitigation Strategies at Flagging Stations on Two-Lane Roads
