Performance of Different Vibrotactile Warning Strategies for Struck-By Hazards in Highway Construction Work Zones
Struck-by accidents are the foremost cause of fatalities at highway construction sites. Traditional visual and auditory alerts often fall short in addressing this issue due to the noisy and dynamic … [Read more...] about Performance of Different Vibrotactile Warning Strategies for Struck-By Hazards in Highway Construction Work Zones
Assessing Injury Risk Factors Among Construction Workers in Highway Work Zones
Construction workers in highway work zones frequently encounter considerable injury risks. Numerous hazards, including heavy equipment, vehicular traffic, and challenging environmental conditions, … [Read more...] about Assessing Injury Risk Factors Among Construction Workers in Highway Work Zones
Safety Analysis of Construction Work Zone Activities Using Convolutional Neural Network and BiLSTM
This study thoroughly explores the safety implications of construction activities on road safety, utilizing a robust data set of 1,500 daily progress reports from 2018 to 2020. We systematically … [Read more...] about Safety Analysis of Construction Work Zone Activities Using Convolutional Neural Network and BiLSTM
Study on the Reasonable Spacing Between Adjacent Work Zones in the Same Lane of Mountainous Two-Lane Highways
In China, mountainous two-lane highways account for 10% of the total mileage and often serve as the only access to the smallest administrative units within a region. During major and medium … [Read more...] about Study on the Reasonable Spacing Between Adjacent Work Zones in the Same Lane of Mountainous Two-Lane Highways
Research on Association Thresholds Between Drivers’ Gaze Behavior and Physiological Tension in Conflict Scenarios of Highway Work Zones
Highway maintenance work zones, characterized by lane reductions, speed limit variations, and temporary traffic controls, exhibit exponentially elevated conflict risks and constitute high-incidence … [Read more...] about Research on Association Thresholds Between Drivers’ Gaze Behavior and Physiological Tension in Conflict Scenarios of Highway Work Zones
