Abstract:

The ability for agencies to notify vehicles that they are approaching a work zone has the potential to reduce crashes by increasing motorists’ awareness of the conditions. A critical element of this ability involves providing accurate work zone information and reducing the potential for false alerts that motorist ignore, which can be accomplished through connected temporary traffic control devices (cTTCDs) such as connected arrow boards. Guidance is needed for agencies on integrating work zone data into traffic management operations to enhance safety and efficiency. This study focused on cTTCDs such as connected arrow boards, connected traffic cones, and other smart devices that improve the accuracy of work zone information. The research documents the current state of the practice, evaluates various cTTCDs, and explores methods for their integration into an agency’s work zone management system through technology such as an advanced traffic management system (ATMS).
