Below is the uncorrected machine-read text of this chapter, intended to provide our own search engines and external engines with highly rich, chapter-representative searchable text of each book. Because it is UNCORRECTED material, please consider the following text as a useful but insufficient proxy for the authoritative book pages.

122 APPENDIX B: Work Zone Intrusion Technology Taxonomy The work zone intrusion technology taxonomy provides a system of classification of available WZITs according to specific characteristics of WZITs and their intended application and use. The taxonomy presents an organized list and mapping of WZIT, roadway, work operation, worksite condition, and technology adoption descriptors. The technology is intended to assist decision- makers with selecting appropriate technology for use in a work zone based on the features of the technology, work zone, work operations, and roadway conditions.

123 Classification Levels Level I Level II Level III 1. Features (The physical characteristics of the technology) 1.1 Data input/sensing 1.1.1 Radar 1.1.2 Pneumatic tube 1.1.3 Radio signal / RFID 1.1.4 Infrared light 1.1.5 Camera (still/video) 1.1.6 Light detection and ranging (lidar) 1.1.7 GPS 1.1.8 Ultra-wideband (UWB) 1.1.9 BLE 1.2 Output 1.2.1 Visual 1.2.2 Sound 1.2.3 Vibration 1.2.4 Electronic data 2.
