Title

Dynamic Early Merge And Dynamic Late Merge At Work Zone Lane Closures

Abstract

To improve traffic safety and efficiency in work zones, several states in the U.S. introduced and tested the Dynamic Lane Merge System (DLM), an intelligent work zone traffic control system. The dynamic lane merging, can take two forms; dynamic early merge and dynamic late merge. Previous DLM applications demonstrated the strengths and weaknesses of each merging scheme. However, up to date the literature lacks of a comparison between the two aforementioned dynamic merging schemes. This manuscript reviews previous DLM applications and suggests two simplified dynamic merging systems; Simplified Dynamic Early Merging (SDEM) and Simplified Dynamic Late Merging (SDLM) for testing on short term work zones. © 2008 Taylor & Francis Group, London.
