Abstract:

In Indiana, distracted driving and unexpected queues have led to an increase in the amount of back-of-queue crashes, particularly on approach to ; work zones. This report presents new strategies for the assessment of both transportation safety and traffic operations using crowd-sourced ; probe vehicle data and a speed laser vehicle re-identification scheme. This report concludes by recommending strategies for the placement of ; variable speed limits (VSL) adjacent to work zones and suggestions for future research.
