“…Other major causes included lack of coordination with other nearby projects and miscommunications between the various project participants, congestion and vehicle delays in the working zone, unattended driving behavior, and inadequate capacity traveling work zone [5][6][7][8]. According to police yearly road traffic accident records, there are more than ten different forms of road flaws that have resulted in a road accident [9]. One of the road faults that resulted in an accident is a lack of street lighting, particularly at night.…”

Work environment in highway construction are hazardous due to the particular dynamic and limited workspace availability. Within highway work zones, a variety of encounters involving employees, passing cars, and moving construction equipment exists, creating risky situations that may result in injury or death. Active approaches, such as the deployment of intrusion detection and alert devices in highway employees and the construction and maintenance of transportation infrastructure, can be effective in reducing these unforeseen situations. The study focus on development of the emergency signal system for the safety of highway workers was carried out to prevent accidents or danger from happening in the straight emergency line on the highway by developing a system of hazard detectors using a distance sensor. Therefore, the development of the Signal Warning Detector (SWAD) for the safety of highway workers was carried out to prevent accidents or danger from happening in the straight emergency line on the highway by developing a system of hazard detectors using a distance sensor. The distance sensor sensed the target at a certain distance and transmitted the signal emitted through the siren device and the emergency lamp mounted on the PLUS Malaysia Berhad (PLUS) car, while the signal was also transmitted to the receiver to create a danger signal to alert the worker by vibrating the vibrator motor located at the worker's hand. The study findings show that commercially accessible technologies have the ability to improve employee health in the work zone by providing early signal warning as vibration. This study adds to the knowledge base by offering methods for the collection and application of intruder sensing technologies for active protection in the work zone. The data produced in the result reveals that by performing the study, it was possible to find the best parameter setting for the Danger Signal Detector system. The farthest distance observed was at 14° of angle, 2.2 meter distance from center, and 1.8 meter sensor height.

“…But in the design of this type of road, it is important to take into account the characteristics of the infrastructure, as it plays a very important role in road safety, which is directly related to the quality of the road network protection for the benefit of all road users [38]. Since there is a direct relationship between traffic speed [39] and access points [40] and road accident rates [41]. Consequently, from the point of view of the factors, it is important that the governmental entities that manage the road network and urban transportation systems carry out the development of transportation models and traffic forecasting that allow them to analyze the phenomena of lack of traffic flow, particularly in urban centers, historical areas and other noble urban areas.…”

The high traffic volume is the main source of the congestion in cities, which is a big problem on transportation systems. This congestion is the main cause of the increase in the level of noise and air pollution in urban centers what directly affects the quality of life of the population. Also, contributing to the big number of vehicle conflicts that affects the performance of the transportation systems and the quality of life of the population. These problems are the result of the high volumes of the through traffic. Therefore, to reduce the traffic volume in urban center of Guimarães, Portugal we studied a possible conclusion of the ring road, on the slope of the Penha hill for the morning peak hour. To carry out our study, the Origin – Destination Matrix for peak hour was estimated from the data of traffic counts. Concluding that there was a reduction of the traffic volume in the section of the ring road that was already built. However, in the city center there were no major variations of the traffic volume and accessibilities.

“…This is because, most of the drivers have different perceptions of appropriate operating speed on the roads as suggested in [2]. Other than that, in [3] that studies the accidents behaviour stated that the increase of speed and access point would trigger an increase in the frequency of road accidents. Therefore, the transportation system offers a good speed, and majority of them using it as much as possible, then the best enemy of speed which is congestion will occur.…”

Abstract. Traffic engineering uses engineering methods and techniques to achieve the safe and time efficient movement of people and goods on roadways and it depends on traffic flow. The three main parameters of a traffic flow are volume, speed and density. Speed is an important transportation consideration because it relates to safety, time, comfort, convenience, and economics. This study is to show the difference of traffic speed for before, during and after a primary traffic survey called "Banci Lalu Lintas". This study also is conducted at Federal Road FT005 with collaboration of Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR). In achieving the goal for this study, traffic speed is recorded by using two methods which are manual method and Automatic Traffic Count (ATC). For before and after the survey, manual method is used and the data is collected for 15 minutes, while during the survey, ATC is used in collecting data for 24 hours per day in a week. The data obtained where the mean speed is recorded and is compared as well as analyzed between three categories which are before, during and after "Banci Lalu Lintas" and using statistical analysis. In result, the speed of vehicles for during the survey is the lowest compared to before and after survey where the differential percentage are 6.68% and 23.64% for before -during and during -after "Banci Lalu Lintas". The study concluded that drivers tend to decrease their vehicles speed when there is an event or unexpected conditions on the road. The result is important for future development and safety of road in Malaysia.
