Fast Safety Assessment and Correction Framework for Maintenance Work Zones
A framework is proposed to assess the safety of maintenance work zones in a timely manner, show whether there are safety hazards, whether adjustments need to be made and how to adjust it. By means of … [Read more...] about Fast Safety Assessment and Correction Framework for Maintenance Work Zones
An Optimization‐Based Traffic Diversion Model During Construction Closures
During major highway construction, when lanes or entire highway sections must be temporarily closed, traffic managers would like to inform motorists of alternative routes around the construction site … [Read more...] about An Optimization‐Based Traffic Diversion Model During Construction Closures
Research on the Influence of Front Virtual Work Zone on Traffic Operation of Expressway Construction Sections
In this paper, a new work zone traffic organization scheme (as opposed to a traditional one) is proposed. A front virtual work zone, in which no work is carried out, is set upstream of the real work … [Read more...] about Research on the Influence of Front Virtual Work Zone on Traffic Operation of Expressway Construction Sections
Traffic Risk Assessment Model for Expressway Maintenance Work Zones Based on Risk Index
The driving environment of expressway maintenance work zones is complex and the rate of accidents is high. It is very important to improve road traffic safety, evaluate driving risks, and establish … [Read more...] about Traffic Risk Assessment Model for Expressway Maintenance Work Zones Based on Risk Index
An Improved Cellular Automaton Model for Work Zone Traffic Simulation Considering Realistic Driving Behavior
Traffic efficiency and safety in work zone are major concerns for traffic engineers, highway agencies and road users. Microscopic traffic simulation is an efficient method to study work zone traffic … [Read more...] about An Improved Cellular Automaton Model for Work Zone Traffic Simulation Considering Realistic Driving Behavior
