• Abstract:
  The objective of this project was to promote and facilitate analysis and evaluation of the impacts of road construction activities in Smart ; Work Zone Deployment Initiative (SWZDI) states. ; The two primary objectives of this project were to assess urban freeway work-zone impacts through use of remote monitoring devices, ; such as radar-based traffic sensors, traffic cameras, and traffic signal loop detectors, and evaluate the effectiveness of using these ; devices for such a purpose. Two high-volume suburban freeway work zones, located on Interstate 35/80 (I-35/I-80) through the Des ; Moines, Iowa metropolitan area, were evaluated at the request of the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT).
