Abstract:Highway construction is among the most dangerous industries in the US. Internal traffic control design, along with how construction
equipment and vehicles interact with the traveling public, have a significant effect on how safe a highway construction work zone can
be.
An integrated approach was taken to research work-zone safety issues and mobility, including input from many personnel, ranging from
roadway designers to construction laborers and equipment operators. The research team analyzed crash data from Iowa work-zone
incident reports and Occupational Safety and Health Administration data for the industry in conjunction with the results of personal
interviews, a targeted work-zone ingress and egress survey, and a work-zone pilot project.
