Evaluation of Work Zone Design Features to Aid Older Drivers
Work zones are estimated to account for 22 percent of roadway crashes and more than 1000 fatalities annually. Moreover, older road users have been overrepresented in work zone crashes. In an effort to … [Read more...] about Evaluation of Work Zone Design Features to Aid Older Drivers
Phase II – Improved Work Zone Design Guidelines and Enhanced Model of Travel Delays in Work Zones
This project contains three major parts. In the first part a digital computer simulation model was developed with the aim to model the traffic through a freeway work zone situation. The model was … [Read more...] about Phase II – Improved Work Zone Design Guidelines and Enhanced Model of Travel Delays in Work Zones
