Work zone (WZ) has long been identified as a potential contributor to
traffic fatalities and delays. Despite significant technological
advancements that have improved WZ operations, societal concerns
about safety and mobility near WZs persist, and Tennessee highways
are no exception. The gravity of the problem and the critical nature of
instituting solutions to reduce WZ fatalities is evident from the most
recent year's WZ crash statistics (2021) of Tennessee, where 3,784
crashes were reported, out of which 12.5% of crashes involved a
distracted driver. However, knowledge is scarce on what
control/enforcement measures should be implemented, their
associated benefits, and drivers' attitude towards these measures.
Furthermore, there is insufficient evidence on how the design and
positioning of control/enforcement measures influence driver
behavior. |
