| Project detail | ||
| Project Description: | The car-following and lane-changing driving behavior is different in work zones than during normal conditions. The overall objective of this project is to mine the naturalistic driving behavior dataset and extract instances when drivers were passing through work zones. This research will examine the data to determine whether driving behavior changes in work zones compared to driving behavior not in work zones. | |
| Goals: |
Establish database in the Saxton Transportation Operations Laboratory.
|
|
| Background Information: | This study will involve many units within the United States Department of Transportation from Federal Highway Administration. The data was provided from the John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center. | |
| Product Type: | Article Conference displays | |
| Test Methodology: | Statistical analysis will be used. | |
| Partners: | Federal Highway Administration: Office of Research, Development, and Technology - Office of Safety Research and Development; Role(s): Advisory | |
| Expected Benefits: | Modeling and simulation of work zones. | |
| Deliverables: | Name: Paper for Transportation Research Board. Product Type(s): Conference displays, Article Description: This paper will include the various thresholds to the Wiedemann Psycho-Physical model to accurately model driver behavior in work zones. | |
