  • Abstract:
    The goal of this project was to develop implementation guidance that the Texas Department of ; Transportation (TxDOT) can use to make better decisions regarding when and where to use positive ; protection in work zones and when to consider exposure control and other traffic control measures that ; could improve work zone safety. The specific objectives of the project were as follows: ; • Analyze the benefits and costs of using portable concrete barrier (PCB) for positive protection ; in work zones. ; • Analyze the benefits and costs associated with the use of moveable and portable barrier ; technologies that can be more quickly deployed and removed at work sites than traditional PCB. ; • Analyze the benefits and costs of non-positive protection devices that can be used to improve ; safety and reduce work zone intrusion events in work zones. ; • Develop implementation guidelines for these various technologies. ; Researchers also developed guidelines for portable concrete barrier use in work zones. Guidelines ; regarding the use of portable steel barrier, mobile barrier, and truck-mounted attenuators were also ; developed. General guidance and information regarding the use of exposure control measures and other ; t raffic control measures to reduce work space intrusion risks were also included in this report.
