Book Speed Reduction Methods and Studies in Work Zones

Download or read book Speed Reduction Methods and Studies in Work Zones written by R. F. Benekohal and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of this project were to determine the effectiveness of speed control methods and study traffic behavior in construction zones. This report provides a brief introduction and summary of findings from the following reports which were prepared as part of this study: (1) Evaluation and Summary of Studies in Speed Control Methods in Work Zones. (2) Evaluation of a Radar-Activated Horn System for Speed Control in Highway Maintenance Operations. (3) Survey of Driver's Opinion about Work Zone Traffic Control on a Rural Highway. (4) Speed Reduction Effects of Drone Radar in Rural Interstate Work Zones. (5) Speed Reduction Effects of Changeable Message Signs in a Construction Zone. (6) Effects of Police Presence on Speed in a Highway Work Zone: Circulating Marked Police Car Experiment. (7) Evaluation of Work Zone Speed Limit Signs with Strobe Lights. (8) Speed Reduction Profiles of Vehicles in a Highway Construction zone. Data only for those vehicles in free flow traffic are used for speed reduction evaluation. A vehicle was considered to be in free flow traffic when its time headway was greater than 5 seconds.

Book Evaluation of Work Zone Speed Reduction Measures

Download or read book Evaluation of Work Zone Speed Reduction Measures written by T. H. Maze and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) has made improving work zone (WZ) safety a high priority. Managing vehicle speeds through work zones is perceived to be an important factor in achieving this goal. A number of speed reduction techniques are currently used by transportation agencies throughout the country to control speeds and reduce speed variation at work zones. The purpose of this project is to study these and other applicable work zone speed reduction strategies. Furthermore, this research explores transportation agencies' policies regarding managing speeds in long-term, short-term, and moving work zones. This report consists of three chapters. The first chapter, a literature review, examines the current speed reduction practices at work zones and provides a review of the relevant literature. The speed control strategies reviewed in this chapter range from posting regulatory and advisory speed limit signs to using the latest radar technologies to reduce speeds at work zones. The second chapter includes a short write-up for each identified speed control technique. The write-up includes a description, the results of any field tests, the benefits and the costs of the technology or technique. To learn more about other state policies regarding work zone speed reduction and management, the Center for Transportation Research and Education conducted a survey. The survey consists of six multipart questions. The third chapter provides summaries of the response to each question.
