This project is a continuation of TO 5300 'Integrated Construction Zone Trac Management'. In TO 5300, we developed a comprehensive work zone trac impact assessment procedure using a series of state-of-the-art dynamic network analysis tools as building blocks. This procedure was then implemented into a work zone trac impact assessment software package called NetZone. Although NetZone shows great promise in our preliminary evaluation study, it is nevertheless a prototype software that needs further development and renement before it can be widely adopted as a work zone analysis tool for large-scale networks. In this project, we improve the trac analysis models embedded in NetZone, add trac control models and emission models to NetZone, and reorganize and improve the graphical user interface of NetZone. With such enhancement, the new NetZone becomes more robust, powerful and easier to use, and can be applied to more complicated work zones under more general network settings. |
