• Abstract:
  The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of DOTD’s queue estimation procedures by comparing results with those obtained directly from site observations through video camera footage or other means. Actual queue start times and queue lengths during the closure of one or more lanes at a freeway work zone will be measured and compared with results obtained from the HCM-based spreadsheet tool and/or results obtained when using the 1309 pc/h/ln capacity constant.
