Abstract:

Prevention of work zone crashes is one of the top priorities for transportation agencies. To make more informed decisions on initiating appropriate programs and countermeasures, more precise information on the underlying mechanisms of work zone crashes is needed. Considerable research effort has been directed to examine work zone crash characteristics and possible causal factors in the last five decades. This study is designed to provide a thorough review of existing research focused on work zone crash-related analysis and modeling. Literature from multiple sources is carefully combed to determine about the state-of-knowledge related to the work zone safety problem. Experience and lessons learned from these studies are presented to highlight critical gaps in the knowledge of the safety of work zones. Future challenges are also discussed to address some missing information needs related to work zone safety analysis and modeling.
