Abstract:

Problem: Work zones on heavily traveled divided highways present problems to motorists in the form of traffic delays and increased accident risks due to sometimes reduced motorist guidance, dense traffic, and other driving difficulties. To minimize the delays encountered in traveling through a work zone, there are two areas in which we can look for improvement. First the modeling of traffic through the work zone and designing the work zone in such a way that we keep traffic delays within acceptable limits and second, providing optimal guidance for drivers through the work zone.
