摘要: |
This report has documented the research performed to assess the effectiveness of a flashing warning light system as a work zone traffic control device. Researchers investigated motorist understanding of and perceived usefullness of various designs of the warning light system in a simulated work zone at night at TTI's proving ground facility at the Texas A&M University Riverside Campus. Field studies of the warning light system were also performed at night to determine if the system would yield significant operational or safety benefits in actual work zone applications. Furthermore, researchers discussed the physical design of the warning light system in respect to the problems encountered while using the system in the proving ground and field studies. |
