Study of Improved Signal-Based Merge Strategy in Work Zone Areas Based on Cellular Automata Simulation
Work zones have critical effects on traffic safety and efficiency. Previous researchers have developed lots of merge strategies to regulate drivers’ behaviours, which can be divided into early merge … [Read more...] about Study of Improved Signal-Based Merge Strategy in Work Zone Areas Based on Cellular Automata Simulation
Identifying Temporal Instability in Factors Causing Work Zone Crash Occurrences Using Fast Causal Inference
Finding effective countermeasures of work zone crashes requires identifying the causes of work zone crashes. Recently, several researchers have identified some evidence that the influence of factors … [Read more...] about Identifying Temporal Instability in Factors Causing Work Zone Crash Occurrences Using Fast Causal Inference
