16. Abstract

QuickZone is a spreadsheet-based analytic tool that allows for quick estimation of work zone delay and can be used to support decisionmaking during all phases of the project development process (policy, planning, design and operations). FHWA commissioned a series of QuickZone case studies to capture the uses and impact of the tool. The case studies contained herein are a few examples of the many applications of QuickZone. The eight highway construction project sites presented in the case studies are intended to showcase a range of applications, plus to highlight innovative modeling approaches using QuickZone. The case studies are located throughout the United States and Canada and include urban and rural applications. The roadway facilities include both high-volume, freeway applications with recurring congestion and low-volume, rural road applications where congestion is rarely a problem.
