    Keywords : work zone; roadwork; delay; cost; flow; traffic; simulation; micro; flagger; traffic control; capacity; vägarbete; trafikflöde; trafikanordning; fördröjning; fördröjningskostnader; trafiksimulering; mikrosimulation; flaggvakt; skyttelsignal; kapacitet;

    Abstract : When roadworks are performed, one of the impacts is delays in the traffic. Partly because of reduced speed limits past the work zones but mainly because of the facility's limited quality of service. This could result in significant delays for the road users with lost work and spare time as a consequence. READ MORE
