Abstract:

Construction work around traffic, as on highways, bridges or roads implies complexity issues because of the size of the projects, the variety of actors involved and the presence of motorists during the construction activities. Schedules are complicated and communication between various stakeholders might be unclear or difficult. The public, for whom facilities are improved, can feel disturbed by the frequent changes and concomitant delays. Furthermore, engineers working on those projects experience difficulties to take accurate, real-life traffic data in account. Traffic data is required in different phases of construction, and can be obtained by several methods. Microscopic models can simulate the real traffic conditions with good accuracy given logical boundary approximations. This paper discusses the process of development of an integrated visualization methodology for viewing traffic and geometry information and demonstrates its benefits and challenges using case studies. The case studies illustrate the importance of such tools for the development of Transportation Management Plans (TMP). The challenges involved in successful implementation are examined, and recommendations for further work are presented.
