A Psychological Perspective of Drivers’ Speed Preferences in Work Zones and Its Implications for Policy and Practice
All traffic safety work conducted in Norway is based on the goal that nobody should be killed or severely injured in a traffic crash. According to this philosophy, called “Vision Zero”, road … [Read more...] about A Psychological Perspective of Drivers’ Speed Preferences in Work Zones and Its Implications for Policy and Practice
Lane-Based Vehicular Speed Characteristics Analysis for Freeway Work Zones Using Aerial Videos
Work zones which are usually referred to as traffic bottlenecks or critical points may lead to reductions in both operational performance and safety. Most of present studies are based on simulation … [Read more...] about Lane-Based Vehicular Speed Characteristics Analysis for Freeway Work Zones Using Aerial Videos
Effect of Construction Work Zone on Traffic Stream Parameters Using Vehicular Trajectory Data Under Mixed Traffic Conditions
The research work presented is originated with the intent of studying driving behavior, especially in a lateral direction under the influence of construction work activities under prevailing … [Read more...] about Effect of Construction Work Zone on Traffic Stream Parameters Using Vehicular Trajectory Data Under Mixed Traffic Conditions
Use of Blue Lights on Paving Equipment in Work Zones
Vehicle speed in work zones is a significant concern to ODOT and construction partners. Prior national research shows that law enforcement vehicles located within a work zone with active flashing blue … [Read more...] about Use of Blue Lights on Paving Equipment in Work Zones
Effects of Roadwork Characteristics and Drivers’ Individual Differences on Speed Preferences in a Rural Work Zone
Work zone safety from a psychological perspective has received little attention in scientific literature. Therefore, the present study aims to explore the influence of roadwork characteristics and … [Read more...] about Effects of Roadwork Characteristics and Drivers’ Individual Differences on Speed Preferences in a Rural Work Zone
