Analysis of Stopping Sight Distance (SSD) Parameters: A Review Study
( Elsevier B.V. , 2022 , Article)Stopping sight distance (SSD) is one of the important elements in geometric highway design, which relies on the two key parameters, i.e., vehicle braking characteristics and drivers' reaction time. Previous studies have ... -
Application of Unsupervised Machine Learning Classification for the Analysis of Driver Behavior in Work Zones in the State of Qatar
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Work zone areas are commonly known as crash-prone areas. Thus, they usually receive high priority by road operators as drivers and workers have higher chances of being involved in road crashes. The paper aims to investigate ... -
Autonomous vehicles between anticipation and apprehension: Investigations through safety and security perceptions
( Elsevier Ltd , 2021 , Article)Due to the ongoing enormous infrastructural developments and car ownership culture in Qatar, it could be one of those countries to introduce Autonomous Vehicles (AV) technology at the early stages. Therefore, this study ... -
Delay or travel time information? The impact of advanced traveler information systems on drivers’ behavior before freeway work zones
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Peak travel times contribute to congestion formation at freeway work zones. Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) can inform drivers in real-time about the delays and travel times en-route and can provide information ... -
Do detection-based warning strategies improve vehicle yielding behavior at uncontrolled midblock crosswalks?
( Elsevier Ltd , 2021 , Article)Pedestrians being the most vulnerable road users account for a large proportion of injuries and fatalities from road traffic crashes. Pedestrians are involved in around one-third of the whole fatalities coming from the ... -
Driving behavior classification at signalized intersections using vehicle kinematics: Application of unsupervised machine learning
( Taylor & Francis , 2022 , Article)Driving behavior is considered as a unique driving habit of each driver and has a significant impact on road safety. This study proposed a novel data-driven Machine Learning framework that can classify driving behavior at ... -
Driving simulation sickness and the sense of presence: Correlation and contributing factors
( Elsevier Ltd , 2021 , Article)Driving simulators are useful and effective tools for conducting studies in the field of traffic safety. Simulation sickness (SS) and the sense of presence (SP) are two well-known factors that could affect the results of ... -
Dynamic travel information strategies in advance traveler information systems and their effect on route choices along highways
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)Advance Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) inform drivers about traffic incidences and expected travel times/ delays en-route. An online computer study was conducted in Qatar to investigate drivers' willingness ... -
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, ... -
Exploring driver behaviors during tailgating situations: a driving simulator study
( Elsevier , 2023 , Conference Paper)The characteristics of drivers vary from one individual to another and one culture to another, leading to distinct driving behaviors exhibited by different drivers. This study aims to explore drivers’ car-following behaviors ... -
Exploring Microscopic Characteristics of Bicycle Riders’ following Behaviors in a Single-File Movement
( MDPI , 2023 , Article)Cycling can bring a wide range of social, economic, and health benefits to individuals and communities. The safety and efficiency of bicycle facilities can be significantly impacted by the interactions among riders. This ... -
Fuel consumption at signalized intersections: Investigating the impact of different signal indication settings
( Elsevier Ltd , 2023 , Article)The fuel consumption of vehicles depends on various factors including vehicle design, driving style, traffic management, and road design. Many manufacturers have been developing efficient and smart vehicles, which contributes ... -
The impact of cognitive load on a lane change task (LCT) among male autistic individuals: A driving simulator study
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)This study investigated the impact of cognitive load on driving among autistic individuals with the use of an adapted, driving simulator-based, Lane Change Task (LCT). A secondary task was used to induce increasing verbal ... -
The impact of rural expressway environments: drivers’ attention allocation to variable message signs
( Taylor & Francis , 2022 , Article)Variable Message Signs (VMS) are implemented at varying locations of the expressway. In this study, we compared the drivers’ attention allocation to a ‘drive safely’ message on several VMS gantries that were located at six ... -
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. ... -
Improved driver behaviour at bus stops on local roads: Comparison of different treatments
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Every day, millions of students use school bus as a mean of transportation to and from schools. Nevertheless, most of the school bus related crashes occur at or near bus stops. The overtaking of stopped school buses during ... -
