A study into urban roadworks with shuttle-lane operation (1998)
Presentation / Conference
Samoail, N., & Yousif, S. (1998, April). A study into urban roadworks with shuttle-lane operation. Presented at Proceedings of the 3rd Institute of Mathematics and its Applications International Conference on Mathematics in Transport Planning and Control, Cardiff, UK

In urban areas where roadworks are required, single lane shuttle operation is applied, especially where there is limited road space. There are operational problems relating to the site such as site geometry, visibility, length of roadworks zone, pos... Read More about A study into urban roadworks with shuttle-lane operation.
