“…Venter, L. [31] studied the impact of lane occupancy in work areas on road capacity, determined queue positions and the maximum waiting time of vehicles based on changes in traffic volume, and calculated the length of construction work areas suitable for occupying half of the lane. Scholars have also used VISSIM (2022 student) simulation to study the impact of subway track construction work areas on the transportation environment from the perspective of environmental protection [17] and estimated the economic losses caused. The study by Liu, Y.…”

“…Research on the effects of work zones predominantly falls into two major categories. The first category pertains to the work zones on highways, encompassing aspects such as traffic capacity [16], work area impact area [17], and traffic flow prediction models [18]. The second category focuses on urban work zones, including studies related to urban travel origin-destination (OD) matrices [19], alternate route selection [20], and traffic organization management [21].…”

Due to the increasing demand for transportation, road renovation is inevitable, and the emergence of work zones has become the most common problem in traffic control. There are many research results on the impact of work zones on traffic operation, but most of them focus on various capacity theoretical models or traffic flow control strategies and are mostly concentrated in highway work areas and urban road subway construction work areas. The location of these work zones is often unable to be changed and is mostly considered reasonable. At present, there is still a gap in selecting and evaluating the location of the work zone. Therefore, this article studied a bidirectional six-lane intersection in Xi’an and investigated the situation of traffic flow distortion caused by the setting of work zones at the intersection. Two different positions and forms of work zones were designed for evaluation and analysis. Firstly, we used VISSIM (2022 student) to simulate the original and proposed work zone road-occupation schemes and analyzed six indicators. Finally, in order to determine the optimal work zone locations under different traffic situations, we applied the entropy weight method (EWM) to assign weights to multiple indicators, thereby achieving a comprehensive assessment of various schemes. The results showed that the highest improvement level among the six indicators was 50.2%, and different schemes adapted to different traffic situations. However, occupying two lanes of the median opposite the exit lane performed better under high traffic volume. Occupying the median and lanes on both sides of the median is suitable for low traffic volume. Occupying two lanes of the entrance lane and using the opposite lane as the left-turn entrance lane is suitable for situations with high traffic volume in the opposite lane.

“…Figure 2 shows the increase in land value as a function of time. The influence of metro train construction work zones on the traffic environment in a site located on Swami Dyanand Marg, a six-lane split carriageway in East Delhi, India, and how to quantify these effects were investigated [12]. The impact of a junction in a work zone was investigated in this study.…”

Indian cities have undergone a tremendous urban transformation, particularly in the previous three decades. Urbanization is on the rise, infrastructure is being built quickly, and the social fabric is diversifying, all of which have an impact on the physical environment. It's important to observe that in India, Applied Planning Policies frequently address Urban Transformation brought on by the socioeconomic requirements of the city and aggressive market forces. The quality of a country's transportation infrastructure is one of the most important indicators of its wealth. The main Indian metropolises' economic success has increased as a result of the increased international trade, financial flows, and inter-and intra-city travel. The transportation industry is broad and diversified, but it also confronts its own set of problems that may be solved by using energy-efficient technology and a customer-focused approach. The construction of a Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) project is often anticipated to increase property prices in any given city. Customers, household members, and employees may commute from their homes to their places of employment and to other locations with ease thanks to the MRTS system. It provides the fastest, safest, and most dependable method of commuting. Bengaluru, the capital and largest city of Karnataka, is served by the Bangalore (Namma) Metro, an urban MRTS with two lines and 51 stops. The study on the effects of metro trains on land use, socioeconomic features, and historic structures is thoroughly reviewed in this publication. The evaluation made it clear that additional study is necessary to determine how the effect of metro rails may be "quantified" in ways that are straightforward and approachable. Users must notice a noticeable difference in trip times from the baseline before they will find the system more enticing than alternative public transportation options.

“…The implementation of underground transport tunnel projects requires a detailed study of the surrounding facilities, taking into account the reduced capacity, increased travel time delay, fuel consumption, the number of traffic accidents, which lead to unaccounted economic losses. Thus, it becomes necessary to study and quantify the impact of construction work zones of high-speed public transport system on the transport environment, which will further help to assess economic losses due to the construction work zone of underground transport facilities [2].…”

A study of the underground tunnel planning reliability for megacities is proposed based on the use of foresight and cognitive modeling methodologies. Using the foresight methodology allows, with the help of expert estimation procedures, to identify critical technologies and build alternatives of scenarios with quantitative characteristics. For the justified implementation of a particular scenario, cognitive modeling is used, which allows to build causal relationships based on knowledge and experience, understand and analyze the behavior of a complex system for a strategic perspective with a large number of interconnections and interdependencies. The suggested study allows the reliability planning of underground tunnels on the basis of reasonable scenarios selection and justification of their creation priority.
