SPR-5009: Phase II of SPR-4628: Validation of Innovative Work Zone Countermeasures by Field Tests

This project aims to validate the effectiveness of countermeasures identified in Phase I (SPR-4628) using field tests in INDOT work zones. The field tests include two parts: (1) apply sensors in work zones with geofenced surveys and (2) perform real-world driving experiments with post-surveys. Project deliverables include identified work zones and factors for field tests, effectiveness of countermeasures in INDOT work zones, differences and consistencies between field tests and driving simulation experiments, and the final report.
