Work Zone & Traffic Analysis/Management
Current and future work zone safety and mobility issues mean that transportation practitioners need to minimize and manage the work zone impacts of road projects. In order to meet safety and mobility needs during highway maintenance and construction, and to meet the expectations of the traveling public, it is important to systematically analyze and assess the work zone impacts of projects and take appropriate action to manage these impacts.
