• Abstract:
  This study presents the results and implementation strategies on the deployment of smart work zone equipment. A smart arrow board in combination with location beacons were tested towards understanding best practices, both informed by the test pilot and through a literature review, on the inclusion of such devices within work zones in Oregon. Furthermore, the deployment of these devices in an active work zone was also used as a case study on how these devices might be integrated into three primary categories: TripCheck, automation of the over-dimension permitting system from Oregon Department of Transportation’s Commerce and Compliance Division, and the establishment of ODOT’s work zone data exchange feed.
