Analysis of the Trajectories of Left-turning Vehicles at Signalized Intersections
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Internationally, an annual number of more than a million fatalities are caused by road traffic crashes, with particularly signalized intersections being crash prone locations within the highway system. An accumulation of ...
Human factors and road safety in the 2nd international traffic safety conference
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2023 , Other)
This special issue presents selected articles submitted to the 2nd International Traffic Safety Conference 2023, Doha, (Qatar). More than 150 papers were submitted and they were peer-reviewed. Only 16 papers were highly ...
Exploring Crowd Management and Evacuation Strategies using Microscopic Pedestrian Simulation: A Case Study of Souq Waqif
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Safe egress plans are critical for crowd evacuation at touristic attractions, particularly during special events, as visitors are often unaware of their options. Identification of bottlenecks in the walking spaces are vital ...
Promoting cycling activities in the State of Qatar: Challenges and potential treatments
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
In the last few decades, cycling has received an increased attention due to its health, social, and economical benefits. Many countries are adopting different policies to encourage cycling as a daily mode of transport. In ...
The appraisal of roadway environment and infrastructure by drivers with autism: A qualitative study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
People with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) might experience difficulties while driving, for instance, related to hazard perception. These difficulties may be related to cognitive issues (internal) such as attention-shifting, ...
Sandstorm animations on rural expressways: The impact of variable message sign strategies on driver behavior in low visibility conditions
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Problem: Evolving sandstorms on rural expressways in desert countries impair drivers' contrast vision and increase the risk of serious crashes due to delayed speed adjustments. Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) such as ...
Investigating the impact of a novel active gap metering signalization strategy on driver behavior at highway merging sections
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
A safe headway to the lead vehicle is important to reduce conflicts with merging vehicles from highway on-ramps. Previous research has outlined the advantage of gap metering strategies to yield sufficient space to merging ...
Impact of the geometric field of view on drivers’ speed perception and lateral position in driving simulators
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Driving simulators have become an effective tool in road safety research. In recent years, the validity of simulators raised debates concerning the extant to which driving in the simulator resembles driving in the reality. ...
Empirical evaluation of drivers’ start-up behavior at signalized intersection using driving simulator
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Start-up behavior at signalized intersection mainly depends on perception reaction time of drivers to the green phase. This study investigated the start-up behavior at signalized intersections by considering reaction time, ...
