A hybrid approach for identifying factors affecting driver reaction time using naturalistic driving data
Arbabzadeh N.; Jafari M.; Jalayer M.; Jiang S.; Kharbeche M. ( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) estimates that 80% of the deaths and injuries resulting from rear-end collisions could be prevented by the use of advanced collision avoidance systems. While autonomous or ... -
Empirical Study on Pedestrian Signal Design and Compliance in the State of Qatar
Muley D.; Kharbeche M.; Alhajyaseen W.K.M.; Al-Salem M. ( Springer International Publishing , 2019 , Article)To ensure safe crossing manoeuvres at signalized crosswalks, the pedestrian delays and allocation of sufficient pedestrian green and flashing green times should be considered at design stage. The pedestrian signal settings ... -
MIP models for minimizing total tardiness in a two-machine flow shop
Kharbeche, M.; Haouari, M. ( Palgrave Macmillan Ltd. , 2013 , Article)We propose compact mixed-integer programming models for the NP-hard problem of minimizing tardiness in a two-machine flow shop. Also, we propose valid inequalities that aim at tightening the models' representations. We ... -
Pedestrian crashes at priority-controlled junctions, roundabouts, and signalized junctions: The UK case study
Downey L.T.; Saleh W.; Muley D.; Kharbeche M. ( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2019 , Article)Objectives: Over half of pedestrians killed and seriously injured in Great Britain in 2015 were involved in crashes at junctions. This study investigates the nature of these crashes. Methods: A study was conducted into ... -
Pedestrians' Crossing Behavior at Marked Crosswalks on Channelized Right-Turn Lanes at Intersections
Muley D.; Kharbeche M.; Alhajyaseen W.; Al-Salem M. ( 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 ... -
Pedestrians' Speed Analysis at Signalized Crosswalks
Muley D.; Alhajyaseen W.; Kharbeche M.; Al-Salem M. ( 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 ... -
Real-time Driver Drowsiness Detection for Android Application Using Deep Neural Networks Techniques
Jabbar R.; Al-Khalifa K.; Kharbeche M.; Alhajyaseen W.; Jafari M.; Jiang S.... more authors ... less authors ( 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 ... -
Road users' behavior at marked Crosswalks on channelized right-turn lanes at intersections in the state of Qatar
Muley D.; Kharbeche M.; Downey L.; Saleh W.; Al-Salem M. ( MDPI AG , 2019 , Article)At non-signalized marked crosswalks, pedestrian priority is neither well-defined nor well acknowledged by drivers. This paper presents the findings of an investigation on both driver and pedestrian behavior at non-signalized ...
