Modeling the Impact of Work-Zone Traffic Flows upon Concrete Construction: A High Level Architecture Based Simulation Framework
Congestion can restrict access to construction activities both on and close to a freeway, reducing construction efficiency, especially by delaying the delivery of materials. Although previous studies … [Read more...] about Modeling the Impact of Work-Zone Traffic Flows upon Concrete Construction: A High Level Architecture Based Simulation Framework
An Improved Cellular Automata Model for Heterogeneous Work Zone Traffic
This paper aims to develop an improved cellular automata (ICA) model for simulating heterogeneous traffic in work zones. The proposed ICA model includes the forwarding rules to update longitudinal … [Read more...] about An Improved Cellular Automata Model for Heterogeneous Work Zone Traffic
