This study attempted to fill that void for rural highways in Kansas, by estimating capacity of rural highway work zones in Kansas. Six work zone locations were selected for data collection and further analysis. An average of six days' worth of field data was collected, from mid-October 2013 to late November 2013, at each of these work zone sites. Two capacity estimation methods were utilized, including the Maximum Observed 15-minute Flow Rate Method and the Platooning Method divided into 15-minute intervals. The Maximum Observed 15-minute Flow Rate Method provided an average capacity of 1469 passenger cars per hour per lane (pcphpl) with a standard deviation of 141 pcphpl, while the Platooning Method provided a maximum average capacity of 1195 pcphpl and a standard deviation of 28 pcphpl. Based on observed data and analysis carried out in this study, the suggested maximum capacity can be considered as 1500 pcphpl when designing work zones for rural highways in Kansas. This proposed standard value of rural highway work zone capacity could be utilized by engineers and planners so that they can effectively mitigate congestion at or near work zones that would have otherwise occurred due to construction/maintenance. 500 $a Part of the Midwest Smart Work Zone Deployment Initiative: http://www.intrans.iastate.edu/smartwz/ 516 $a Text file in PDF format. 538 $a System requirements: Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Acrobat Reader, or other PDF reading software. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web 513 $a Final Report 650 0 $a Road work zones $z Kansas. 650 07 $a Rural highways $2 trt 650 07 $a Work zone safety $2 trt 650 07 $a Work zone traffic control $2 trt 650 07 $a Work zones $2 trt 650 07 $a Geometric design $2 trt 650 07 $a Highway capacity $2 trt 650 07 $a Traffic congestion $2 trt 650 07 $a Traffic delays $2 trt 700 1 $a Ortiz, Logan, $e author. 710 2 $a Kansas State University, $e performing body. 710 2 $a Smart Work Zone Deployment Initiative, $e sponsoring body. 710 1 $a Iowa. $b Department of Transportation, $e sponsoring body. 710 1 $a United States. $b Federal Highway Administration, $e sponsoring body. 856 40 $a Iowa Publications Online $3 Online Access $z Full report $u http://publications.iowa.gov/19404/ 856 40 $a DIgital Repository @ Iowa State University $3 Online Access $z Full report $u http://lib.dr.iastate.edu/intrans_reports/122 941 $a 1 952 $l IAOX771 $d 20240710103043.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F375EA18B7CA11EC864CB83724ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b UIGInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
