| 摘要： | This research report documents the findings of an investigation into automated temporary traffic control device (TTCD) deployment and retrieval technologies. The researchers used a literature review to gather product relevant product information from manufacturers and vendors. The survey of transportation agency contacts was used to identify automated TTCD deployment and retrieval technologies and agency experiences. The researchers found that some automated TTCD deployment and retrieval products may reduce one or more types of worker risk while increasing other types of risk. A fully automated product has the potential for the greatest risk reduction overall, but also has a much higher cost than less complex systems. Partially automated systems may reduce opportunities for worker injury due to TTCD lifting and lowering mechanisms, but they may also introduce increased opportunities for workers to fall from their platforms. Systems with no automation offer the least benefit, but also have lower costs. |
