Abstract:Highway maintenance, especially pavement rehabilitation or resurfacing, requires lane closures, which may cause considerable traffic disruptions and delays. This report presents integrated methods designed to help highway agencies in developing effective plans for maintenance planning and scheduling as well as for traffic management around work zones. Methods for optimizing work zone characteristics and traffic management plans that minimize the combined costs for highway agencies and motorists are developed for three cases: (1) a single maintained road with steady traffic inflows, (2) a single maintained road with time-dependent inflows, and (3) a road network with multiple detour paths. The new analysis methods are incorporated into MDZONES, a user-friendly software package, for which a user’s manual is included as an appendix.
