This report investigates the use of Value Engineering for selecting work zone channelizing devices. Presented first is a State-of-the-Art review of available channelizing devices and their relative performance. Next, an overview of the Value Engineering problem-solving approach is presented. The paper then demonstrates how the Value Engineering approach can be applied to select work zone channelizing devices. For illustration, the approach is used to select devices for a lane closure taper at a rural freeway work zone.
