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
Practical Road-Resistance Functions for Expressway Work Zones in Occupied Lane Conditions
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
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
