Analysis of Injury Severity of Work Zone Crashes on Rural and Urban Work Zones: Accounting for out-of-sample prediction and temporal instability
This research utilizes data collected in Florida to examine the differentials in injury severities among single-vehicle drivers involved in work zone-related incidents, specifically focusing on the … [Read more...] about Analysis of Injury Severity of Work Zone Crashes on Rural and Urban Work Zones: Accounting for out-of-sample prediction and temporal instability
Applying Clustered KNN Algorithm for Short-Term Travel Speed Prediction and Reduced Speed Detection on Urban Arterial Road Work Zones
This study developed and verified a travel speed prediction model based on the travel speed and work zone statistics collected from the advanced traffic management system (ATMS) real-time data in … [Read more...] about Applying Clustered KNN Algorithm for Short-Term Travel Speed Prediction and Reduced Speed Detection on Urban Arterial Road Work Zones
A Quantitative Method to Delineate the Influence Area of Work Zone Considering Route Choice Inertia and Elastic Demand
The work zone on the urban road network will affect the surrounding road traffic. To represent the influence area of the work zone, the concept of a subnetwork is proposed in this paper. Delineating a … [Read more...] about A Quantitative Method to Delineate the Influence Area of Work Zone Considering Route Choice Inertia and Elastic Demand
Injury Severity of Truck-Involved Crashes in Work Zones on Rural and Urban Highways: Accounting for Unobserved Heterogeneity
Truck-related crashes in the work zones always resulted in severe injury outcomes. This paper analyses the injury severity of truck-involved crashes in the work zones based on a ten-year (2005–2014) … [Read more...] about Injury Severity of Truck-Involved Crashes in Work Zones on Rural and Urban Highways: Accounting for Unobserved Heterogeneity
Driver Compliance in Work Zones: Two-Lane Rural Roads Versus Freeways
Inadequate signage and pavement markings and driver distractions in roadway work zones are contributory high-risk factors for workers and drivers on two-lane rural and multilane freeway facilities. … [Read more...] about Driver Compliance in Work Zones: Two-Lane Rural Roads Versus Freeways
