Determination of Optimal Intensities and Periods for Vehicle-Mounted Warning Lights Using Field Experiments
Increasing the safety of work zones and other locations where frontline service workers are present is important to reduce the potential for crashes involving passing vehicles and the workers. … [Read more...] about Determination of Optimal Intensities and Periods for Vehicle-Mounted Warning Lights Using Field Experiments
Impacts of Fog Characteristics, Forward Illumination, and Warning Beacon Intensity Distribution on Roadway Hazard Visibility
Warning beacons are critical for the safety of transportation, construction, and utility workers. These devices need to produce sufficient luminous intensity to be visible without creating glare to … [Read more...] about Impacts of Fog Characteristics, Forward Illumination, and Warning Beacon Intensity Distribution on Roadway Hazard Visibility
Optimizing Work Zone Lighting
Work zones are inherently complex and confusing visual environments, where the usual patterns of traffic flow are perturbed, and where lights used by workers for task visibility can create glare not … [Read more...] about Optimizing Work Zone Lighting
Toward the Development of Standards for Yellow Flashing Lights Used in Work Zones
Flashing yellow warning lights are important for worker and driver safety in work zones. Current standards for these lights do not address whether and how they should be coordinated to provide … [Read more...] about Toward the Development of Standards for Yellow Flashing Lights Used in Work Zones
