| 摘要： | Work zones, traffic incidents and high traffic areas during major events are often places where drivers can become confused or drive aggressively. Such an environment can cause congestion and endanger workers. During the summer months, SDDOT operates many work zones where drivers need to reduce speed, merge, and take extra precautions. These same characteristics are true for arrival and departure traffic at major special events. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) solutions are available to provide drivers with advance warning of work zones and traffic congestion. These systems can also provide project and traffic engineers real-time information necessary for timely traffic control. The Indiana Lane Merge system gives motorists instructions such as when to merge to prevent congestion at bottle neck areas. Products are also available for warning workers when errant vehicles breach the work zone. A review of available literature regarding the use of ITS devices in work zones revealed that states who have had experience with ITS in work zones have benefited from increased efficiency and speed for motorists, and decreased frustrations and delays. It was also found that several of SDDOTs policies that relate to work zones, incidents, and emergencies dont address the SDDOTs Strategic Plan that states Provide timely, system-wide information to travelers on conditions related to inclement weather, construction and maintenance activities, and traffic incidents. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Federal Highway Administration, Pierre, SD.
