The Effect of Advance Warning Systems on Headway Distributions in High-Speed Work Zones
In work zone traffic management, warning systems provide road users with real-time traffic conditions through messages or signals. This process aims to adjust driver speeds and headway distribution to … [Read more...] about The Effect of Advance Warning Systems on Headway Distributions in High-Speed Work Zones
Symmetrical Flow Optimization: Reciprocal Lane Reconfiguration and Signal Coordination for Construction Zone Intersections
In construction work at urban intersections, construction barriers can severely obstruct the view of right-turning vehicles, thereby posing safety hazards and increasing delays. Taking the … [Read more...] about Symmetrical Flow Optimization: Reciprocal Lane Reconfiguration and Signal Coordination for Construction Zone Intersections
Traffic Organization and Evaluation of Road Intensive Maintenance Based on Multi-Source Data
In response to the problems of long construction periods, road network congestion, and serious traffic conflicts existing in the traditional road maintenance mode, provinces in our country have … [Read more...] about Traffic Organization and Evaluation of Road Intensive Maintenance Based on Multi-Source Data
Modeling Drivers in Route Diversion Behavior During Congestion: A Pilot Study
This study investigates factors influencing drivers' decisions to divert their routes in response to congestion and delays on coastal road networks. Key variables examined include information-seeking … [Read more...] about Modeling Drivers in Route Diversion Behavior During Congestion: A Pilot Study
Optimization Method for Traffic Management in Port Distribution Road Work Zones Using the SUMO Simulation Platform
