This paper presents a review of the approaches to estimating the work zone operational
issues: capacity and traffic delay in work zones. It first explores the factors affecting work …

Road reconstruction and the resulting work zones are considered as a major source of traffic
congestion and delays on freeways. The roadway capacity is decreased as a result of a …

The research work presented is originated with the intent of studying driving behavior,
especially in a lateral direction under the influence of construction work activities under …

In this paper, we present a well-specified analytical methodology for estimating capacity
reduction that is attributable to accidents in the opposite direction of accident-the condition …

Traffic efficiency and safety in work zone are major concerns for traffic engineers, highway
agencies and road users. Microscopic traffic simulation is an efficient method to study work …

Work zones exist widely in cities of many countries and have a significant negative impact
on city traffic. The majority of the existing studies only focused on freeway work zones, while …

The definition of freeway work zone capacity has been a topic of debate for several decades,
leaving agencies with limited guidance on predicting the behavior of traffic flow at given …

The ability to estimate work zone capacity accurately is imperative because accurate
estimates are a key input to estimates of queue length and traffic delay in work zones. This …

Speed‐volume‐density relationship and capacity are key elements in modelling traffic
operations, designing roadways, and evaluating facility performance. This paper uses a …

Accurate estimation of work zone capacity is necessary for successful traffic control
management at work zones. This study uses an ensemble tree approach to estimate work …
