Analysis of gap parameters for the estimation of single lane roundabouts' capacity in the State of Qatar
( Elsevier B.V. , 2021 , Conference)Entry capacity is an important parameter for evaluating the roundabout performance. In general, entry capacity is influenced by three gap parameters: critical gap, follow-up time and minimum headway of circulating vehicles. ... -
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 ... -
COVID 19 PANDEMIC: IMPACTS AND FUTURE IMPLICATIONS ON PERSONAL TRAVEL BEHAVIOR IN THE STATE OF QATAR
( Qatar University Press , 2020 , Poster)In December 2019, a novel and contagious coronavirus also known as Covid-19 outbroke in Wuhan, China. In response to the virus, many countries implemented strict travel restrictions and lockdowns to hold back the spread ... -
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 ... -
Effectiveness of Speed Limit Pavement Markings at Transition Zones Along Expressways
( IEEE , 2020 , Conference)Transition zones are usually equipped with speed limit signs only. Drivers usually miss the speed limit information provided through the roadside signs and travel faster than the posted speed limit. This driving simulator ... -
Effectiveness of the pedestrian detection strategies and pavement markings: A driving simulator study
( Qatar University Press , 2020 , Poster)Pedestrians are the most vulnerable group in the traffic and accounts for about 40,000 deaths each year worldwide. One of the main reasons is that drivers usually do not yield to pedestrian which creates serious conflicts ... -
Empirical analysis of car-following behavior: Impacts of driver demographics, leading vehicle types, and speed limits on driver behavior and safety
( Elsevier , 2025 , Article)Car-following behavior is the most fundamental and common driving behavior and is crucial for road safety and traffic efficiency. Traffic flow dynamics are greatly affected by this behavior, and driver-related factors in ... -
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, ... -
Enhancing Pedestrian Safety through the Development of Advanced Operational Strategies for Crosswalks in Residential Areas
( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)Pedestrians are the most vulnerable group in the traffic. Every year approximately 40,000 pedestrians are killed in the world due to road traffic crashes. In the state of Qatar, the situations are even worse with around ... -
Experimental Investigation of Pedestrians Interacting with E-Scooter Riders on Residential Roads
( Elsevier , 2024 , Conference)The integration of e-scooters in urban environments particularly on residential sidewalks has raised significant concerns about pedestrian safety and comfort. Therefore, it is crucial to understand pedestrian behaviour ... -
Exploring Commuter's Preferences and Future Intentions to Use Ride-Sharing: A Case Study From a Developing Country
( John Wiley and Sons Ltd , 2025 , Article)This study investigates transportation choices with a specific focus on ride-sharing practices. The main aim of the study was to understand the current modes of transport, the primary reasons for choosing them, ride-sharing ... -
Exploring driver behaviors during tailgating situations: a driving simulator study
( Elsevier , 2024 , Conference)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
