Established Methods of Space between Expressway Work Zones Based on Delay of Expressway

Abstract

Via microscopic traffic flow simulation, based on the theory of traffic capacity and queue delay of vehicles on work zones and relying on the Reconstruction and Widening of Fekai Expressway, the paper gives suggested values of minimum space between adjacent work zones in the same direction under different traffic volumes and traffic compositions for references, during the construction of a two-way-8-lane highway with half road way closed. The result can promote work zone traffic safety.
