QUEUING DELAY MODELS FOR TWO-LANE HIGHWAY WORK ZONES

This paper describes the adaptation and application of queuing models to estimate average delay at two-lane highways operating with a lane closure. In their original form, the queuing models predicted impacts at highway intersections controlled by vehicle-actuated traffic signals. Validation efforts using simulation indicate that the adapted delay models adequately predict traffic performance at two-lane highway lane closures.
