Work Zone and Traffic Analysis Articles and Webinars
Articles
4/2/13 Understanding Driver Behavior in Work Zones - Article in March/April 2013 Public Roads about driver behavior research to better understand how it affects work zone capacity and improve modeling of traffic flow at freeway work zones.- Dynamic Work Zone Traffic Management (PDF 340KB) - May 2010 ITE Journal article that describes how the Oregon DOT is using smart work zone technology to increase safety and provide motorists with work zone delay and travel time information, as well as to collect traffic data that can be used for current and future work zone traffic analysis during design and construction.
