Work Zone Operations Best Practices Guidebook
Author: U.s. Department of TransportationPublisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781508569206
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
This Work Zone Best Practices Guidebook provides an easily accessible compilation of work zone operations practices used and recommended by various States and localities around the country. The Guidebook is a reference document that can be updated with new approaches, technologies, and practices for effectively managing work zones and reducing the impacts of work zones on mobility and safety as they are identified. The best practices are descriptive, not prescriptive. They describe approaches that have been successfully used by transportation agencies, along with contact information to find out more from the agency using the practice. Each organization must determine which of these practices are best suited for its particular situation, considering all the site-specific factors that affect work zone operations.
Impact of Highway Work Zones on Traffic Crashes

Book Description
Infrastructure in the US is severely aged and outdated. This presents a seemingly paradoxical problem in the field of construction management: In order to fix and make roads and highways more safe, construction zones must become inherently less safe in the process. There is a high cost to taxpayers and drivers, as work zones experience a significant amount of crashes and fatalities each year. To mitigate some of the factors that contribute to these crashes, this paper attempts to deliver guidelines on how to update relevant crash data, identify relevant factors, and create recommendations accordingly. The research focused particularly on data from 2016 and closely observed data from the year preceding and following isolate variables affecting to work zone safety: the crash rate during construction compared to the time before construction and to the time after construction. Descriptive statistics (mean, histogram), a paired t-test, and an ANOVA test were used to test the crash rate differences. In addition, this study tested the impact of the type of work on the crash rate frequency. The study found with 95% confidence level that there is no significant difference in mean crash rates between construction time and non-construction time. Additionally, the study attempts to corroborate these data with external factors such as population and environment type and ultimately determine whether these factors are indeed significant to work zone safety. Finally, I suggest a series of recommendations to the Michigan Department of Transportation for best practices in ensuring work zone safety.
