Simulation of Resurfacing Pavement Operation of Highways under Lane Closure Condition

Lane closures during paving operation on roads usually restrict the continuity of paving operations and traffic flow, causing delay in paving time and delay of traffic flow time. This paper studies the resurfacing operation of highways using computer simulation. It describes the different types of traffic control devices. It also describes the different types of paving including; semi-rigid paving and flexible paving. To achieve this objective, filed data collected during construction, was used to determine duration, productivity rate to test a development simulation model. The tool utilizes STROBOSCOPE as a simulation engine and is coded by Visual Basic 6.0.
