Speed perception and actual speed in a driving simulator and real-world: A validation study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Background: Driving simulators have become an effective research tool in traffic safety, but the validity of results obtained in simulated environments remains a debated issue of high importance. Objective: The objective ...
The relation between driving errors and executive functioning in intellectually able young novice drivers with autism
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Driving is a complex, goal-directed task. ASD can be related to impairments in executive functioning (EF), which may interfere with driving. This study aimed to investigate (1) if 16 young novice drivers with ASD exhibited ...
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 ...
A comparative study on the operational performance of four-leg intersections by control type
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The selection of proper control types at intersections at the planning stage is an important concern considering the difficulty in comparing the performance of different control types. Therefore, several manuals proposed ...
Traffic safety culture of professional drivers in the State of Qatar

Experimental detection of localized surface defects in ball bearings using vibration analysis
(
Canadian Acoustical Association
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
This study aimed at the monitoring of bearing health condition, based on vibration measurement. For that purpose, small circular defects were seeded on outer and inner rings of similar bearings, by using the principle of ...
Active control of noise in ventilation ducts
(
Canadian Acoustical Association
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Ventilation ducts are often lined with passive absorption material for both thermal insulation and noise and vibration reduction. However, the noise reduction performance is not significant at low frequencies. Active Noise ...
