The objectives of this study were to review the procedures used in work zone traffic plans and to develop static and dynamic models for work zone impact analysis. A review of the current practice for work zone traffic control was done, which can help work zone planners in designing an effective traffic control (TCP). An effective TCP should address the work zone problems from drivers' as well contractors' perspectives. This can assure a safe and smooth traffic flow around work zones. The objectives of the study were: (1) review of guidelines for the selection of appropriate work zone traffic control plans, (2) development of an evaluation tool for predicting the impact of work zones on the road network, and, (3) development of model for dynamic analysis of traffic due to work zones in the context of ATIS/ATMS. |
