Drivers׳ merging behavior data in highway work zones
There have been growing research interests in finding a suitable work zone layout to improve work zone safety and traffic efficiency. This paper contains data supporting the research article entitled: Effects of work zone configurations and traffic density on performance variables and subjective workload (Shakouri et al., 2014 [1]). A full factorial experiment was conducted to compare the effic...
متن کاملCase Study of an Alternative Merging Sign Design for Temporary Traffic 1 Control in Work Zones
21 Signage plays an important role in work zones to provide guidance to drivers under changed 22 conditions. This study investigated the safety effect of an alternative merge sign configuration in 23 a freeway work zone. In this alternative configuration, the graphical-only lane closed sign from 24 the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) was compared against a 25 MERGE/arrow sign ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Mobile Work Zone Alarm Systems
Maintenance of highways often involves mobile work zones for various types of low speed moving operations such as striping and sweeping. The speed differential between the moving operation and traffic, and the increasing problem of distracted driving can lead to potential collisions between approaching vehicles and the truck-mounted attenuator (TMA) protecting the mobile work zone. One potentia...
متن کاملHydrodynamic investigation of multiple rising bubbles using lattice Boltzmann method
Hydrodynamics of multiple rising bubbles as a fundamental two-phase phenomenon is studied numerically by lattice Boltzmann method and using Lee two-phase model. Lee model based on Cahn-Hilliard diffuse interface approach uses potential form of intermolecular forces and isotropic finite difference discretization. This approach is able to avoid parasitic currents and leads to a stable procedure t...
متن کاملEvaluation of New Simplified Dynamic Lane Merging Systems (SDLMS) for Short-Term Work Zone Lane Closure Configuration
To improve traffic safety and mobility in work zone areas, the Dynamic Lane Merge (DLM) systems, intelligent work zone traffic control systems, have been explored by several states of the U.S.A. The DLM can take two forms; dynamic early merge and dynamic late merge. The DLM systems were designed to advise drivers on definite merging locations. Up to date, there are no studies that contrast both...
