Development of a micro-simulation model for motorway roadworks with the use of narrow lanes and lane closure schemes
… schemes (TTMSs) such as the use of narrow lanes, offside and inside lane closures. The effect on traffic performance (i.e. capacity and delay) of various parameters (e.g. flow rates, percentage of heavy goods vehicles, roadwork zone lengths and speed limits) has been tested. The reason for …

Evaluating and updating the Kansas Department of Transportation’s lane closure guide in the Kansas City metropolitan area using Traffic Management Center data
… of Transportation (KDOT) has developed a lane closure guide to assist KDOT personnel and contractors in determining times during the day that a lane can be closed to traffic. The existing lane closure guide was comprised of limited data sources and assumptions based on past traffic counts. …

Traffic flow management under emergency conditions in and around the Virginia Tidewater area tunnels
… are often experienced due to temporary lane closures. These could result from incidences occurring in the tunnel area or due to regular maintenance activities. This work concentrates on the former case. A microcomputer model called Queue and User Cost Evaluation of Work Zones(QUEWZ) was …

Evaluation of the performance of polyurethane foams in rigid pavement preservation
… their installation requires shorter lane closure times and protects the subgrade from subsurface water infiltration by filling the voids. In 2015 and 2016, the Tennessee DOT applied HDP material on sections of Interstate I-24 and I-75 in Chattanooga, Tennessee to lift and level …

Assessing the Effect of Traffic Incident Management Areas on Highway Capacity
… flow following roadway incidents. However, lane closures within TIMAs significantly impact roadway capacity, requiring an analysis of capacity reduction across different closure scenarios. This study examines the effects of one-lane, two-lane, and three-lane closures on traffic flow and …

An artificial neural network model for predicting freeway work zone delays with big data
Lane closures due to road reconstruction and maintenance have resulted in a major source of non-recurring congestion on freeways. It is extremely important to accurately quantify the associated mobility impact so that a cost-effective work zone schedule and an efficient traffic management plan can …

Integration of Traffic and Structural Health Monitoring Systems Using A Novel Nothing-On-Road (NOR) Bridge-Weigh-In-Motion (BWIM) System
… WIM and traditional BWIM systems. These include lane closure, interruption to the traveling traffic, and sensitivity to daily tire impacts and harsh weather conditions. It also provides a portable solution with a less labor-intense installation process. Additionally, previous studies have shown …

SCHEDULING OF PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES
The focus of this study is on the optimal scheduling of pavement maintenance activities to reduce traffic delays at the network level using genetic algorithms. This thesis develops a new method of pavement maintenance scheduling at the road network level. Pavement maintenance management involves …
