Urban Traffic Monitoring and Modeling System: An IoT Solution for Enhancing Road Safety
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Qatar expects more than a million visitors during the 2022 World Cup, which will pose significant challenges. The high number of people will likely cause a rise in road traffic congestion, vehicle crashes, injuries and ...
Driver Drowsiness Detection Model Using Convolutional Neural Networks Techniques for Android Application
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
A sleepy driver is arguably much more dangerous on the road than the one who is speeding as he is a victim of microsleeps. Automotive researchers and manufacturers are trying to curb this problem with several technological ...
Safety and Operational Performance of Signalized Roundabouts: A Case Study in Doha
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Traffic safety is one of the important challenges that urban transportation systems are facing. The common practice of assessing the safety of transportation systems starts with the collection of readily available crash ...
Relationship between Chauffeurs' Demographics, and Knowledge of Traffic Signs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Authorities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) are investing heavily on developing Intelligent Transport Systems, which includes installations of Variable Message Signs (VMS) for the road users. However, it is challenging ...
Real-time Driver Drowsiness Detection for Android Application Using Deep Neural Networks Techniques
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Road crashes and related forms of accidents are a common cause of injury and death among the human population. According to 2015 data from the World Health Organization, road traffic injuries resulted in approximately 1.25 ...
Pedestrians' Crossing Behavior at Marked Crosswalks on Channelized Right-Turn Lanes at Intersections
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Unsignalized marked crosswalks are problematic locations from pedestrians' safety perspective. Although the priority rule at such locations is clear; pedestrians have the absolute right of way over vehicles, driver often ...
Consideration of a Pedestrian Speed Change Model in the Pedestrian-Vehicle Safety Assessment of Signalized Crosswalks
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Pedestrian safety is one of the most challenging issues in the road network. Understanding the pedestrian maneuver is the key to applying countermeasures against traffic crashes. It is known that behaviors of pedestrians ...
An overview of pedestrian signal setting and implementation in the State of Qatar
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Pedestrian signal control is a main influencing factor on the Level of Service of crossing facilities and on the safety performance considering conflicts with vehicles. In signal design, pedestrian clearance time is a key ...
Changes in Driving Behavior Across Age Cohorts in an Arab Culture: The Case of State of Qatar
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In this investigation, we aimed to examine the structure of the Driving Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ) across age cohorts spanning 14 to 55 years in the State of Qatar. In addition, we aimed to examine variations in driving ...
Pedestrians' Speed Analysis at Signalized Crosswalks
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Pedestrian speed is essential for designing signal timings as well as for understanding pedestrian safety issues. This paper presents analysis of three types of pedestrian speeds (entry speed, crossing speed, and exit ...
