Surrogate Safety Assessment of Work Zone Rear-End Collisions in a Connected Vehicle Environment: Agent-Based Modeling Framework
This paper presents an agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS) framework to evaluate the safety performance impacts of connected vehicle (CV) technologies in a work zone setting. This research is … [Read more...] about Surrogate Safety Assessment of Work Zone Rear-End Collisions in a Connected Vehicle Environment: Agent-Based Modeling Framework
Characterizing the Impact of Nighttime Construction on Traffic-Related Emissions
Nighttime road maintenance and construction work is most commonly initiated where it is impractical or highly undesired to close traffic lanes on certain high-volume roadways during normal daylight … [Read more...] about Characterizing the Impact of Nighttime Construction on Traffic-Related Emissions
Model and Simulation of the Traffic of the Urban Signalized Intersection With Island Work Zone
Work zones exist widely in cities of many countries and have a significant negative impact on city traffic; however, the majority of existing studies focused on freeway work zones, work zones on urban … [Read more...] about Model and Simulation of the Traffic of the Urban Signalized Intersection With Island Work Zone
Understanding Traffic Flow Characteristics and Capacity of Linear Multi-work Zones on the Urban Arterial Road
It is quite common that several construction projects are implemented synchronously on the urban arterial roads of many large cities in China. Unfortunately, despite the popularity and prevalence of … [Read more...] about Understanding Traffic Flow Characteristics and Capacity of Linear Multi-work Zones on the Urban Arterial Road
A Particle Swarm Optimization Framework for Calibration of Driver Behavior Models at a Work Zone
Traffic impact assessment is a key step in the process of work zone planning and scheduling for transportation agencies. Microscopic traffic simulation models enable transportation agencies to conduct … [Read more...] about A Particle Swarm Optimization Framework for Calibration of Driver Behavior Models at a Work Zone
