TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Optimal dynamic speed-limit control for highway work zone operations JO - Transportation research record A1 - Kang, Kyeong-Pyo A1 - Chang, Gang-Len A1 - Zou, Ning SP - 77 EP - 84 VL - 1877 IS - N2 - Despite the well-recognized fact that proper control of traffic speed can contribute to both a reduction in accidents and improved efficiency of highway operations, most existing speed-control strategies implemented in Europe and the United States tend to aim only at improving traffic safety. An on-line algorithm for variable speed-limit control at highway work zones is presented that can take full advantage of its dynamic functions and concurrently achieve the objectives of through-put maximization and accident minimization.
