Temporary Traffic Control Strategy Optimization for Urban Freeways
Temporary traffic control (TTC) strategies have been widely adopted to maintain traffic flow while ensuring TTC costs remain a reasonable portion of construction budgets. As travel demand approaches … [Read more...] about Temporary Traffic Control Strategy Optimization for Urban Freeways
Multicontextual Machine-Learning Approach to Modeling Traffic Impact of Urban Highway Work Zones
Impact assessments of highway construction work zones (CWZs) are mandated for all federally funded highway infrastructure improvement projects. However, most existing approaches are ad hoc or project … [Read more...] about Multicontextual Machine-Learning Approach to Modeling Traffic Impact of Urban Highway Work Zones
Estimation of Saturation Headway in Work Zones on Urban Streets
Work zones and lane closures on urban arterials can cause significant disruptions to the traveling public, and methods are increasingly needed to estimate the reductions to saturation flow rates that … [Read more...] about Estimation of Saturation Headway in Work Zones on Urban Streets
Evaluation of Mobility Impact on Urban Work Zones Using Statistical Models
This work correlated the detailed work zone location and time data from the WisLCS system with the five-min inductive loop detector data. One-sample percentile value test and two-sample … [Read more...] about Evaluation of Mobility Impact on Urban Work Zones Using Statistical Models
Traffic Incident Management on Rural Roads
This program applies traffic incident management (TIM) principles directly to the rural roads context using a two lane road as the example. The program highlights how fundamental TIM principles can be … [Read more...] about Traffic Incident Management on Rural Roads
