A model to simulate traffic operations at freeway lane closures is described. The model logic is based on a rational description of the behavior of the drivers in a freeway lane closure situation, and the program is written in SIMSCRIPT 11.5. An application of the model is illustrated with evaluation of potential safety impacts of reduced speed zones in freeway lane closures at different levels of assumed driver compliance.
