Abstract EN
Egypt’s National Road Project is a large infrastructure project aiming to upgrade the existing network of 2500 kilometers as well as constructing new roads of 4000 kilometers to meet today’s need.
Increasing highway work zones eventually direct the challenges for traffic safety and mobility.
Realizing the need for mitigating the impact of such a challenging scenario, this paper aims to investigate and identify the factors of work zone rear-end crash severity.
In this regard, a random parameter ordered probit model was applied to analyze data on the Egyptian long-term highway work zone projects during the period of 2010 to 2017.
The factors of speeding and foggy weather conditions are found to be the key indicators for modeling the random parameters.
Besides, during the weekend and at nighttime, there is a higher risk of rear-end crash in work zones, while heavy and passenger vehicles are at greater risk in this regard.
It is anticipated that the findings of this study would facilitate transport agencies in developing effective measures to ensure safe mobility across work zones.
