In order to create a practical road-resistance function for work zones under different lane occupation conditions, the expected speed of vehicles was calibrated in the work zone simulation model based … [Read more...] about Practical Road-Resistance Functions for Expressway Work Zones in Occupied Lane Conditions
Traffic Simulation
An Empirical Method of Ascertaining the Null Points from a Dedicated Short-Range Communication (DSRC) Roadside Unit (RSU) at a Highway On/Off-Ramp
The deployment of dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) roadside units (RSUs) allows a connected or automated vehicle to acquire information from the surrounding environment using … [Read more...] about An Empirical Method of Ascertaining the Null Points from a Dedicated Short-Range Communication (DSRC) Roadside Unit (RSU) at a Highway On/Off-Ramp
Model and Simulation of the Heterogeneous Traffic Flow of the Urban Signalized Intersection With an Island Work Zone
Work zones exist widely in cities of many countries and have a significant negative impact on city traffic. The majority of the existing studies only focused on freeway work zones, while the work … [Read more...] about Model and Simulation of the Heterogeneous Traffic Flow of the Urban Signalized Intersection With an Island Work Zone
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
