Crowd Evacuation through Crossing Configurations: Effect of Crossing Angles and Walking Speeds on Speed Variation and Evacuation Time
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2022 , Article)
The design of safe and efficient pedestrian facilities necessitates the knowledge of complex human movements, such as intersecting pedestrian streams, under different conditions. This study aims to experimentally investigate ...
Integrated modelling for sustainability assessment and decision making of alternative fuel buses
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
In this paper, a hybrid life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) model integrating multi region input–output analysis with novel multi-criteria decision-making techniques is proposed to assess three different fuel ...
Magnetorheological damper with external excitation for more efficient control of vehicles? dynamics
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
This article presents a new concept design for magnetorheological dampers, where the excitation circuit and magnetic field are applied from outside the magnetorheological chamber. This magnetorheological damper was designed ...
Autonomous electric vehicles can reduce carbon emissions and air pollution in cities
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Heavy dependence on personal vehicle usage made the transportation sector a major contributor to global climate change and air pollution in cities. In this study, we analyzed autonomous electric vehicles and compared their ...
Assessment of different pedestrian communication strategies for improving driver behavior at marked crosswalks on free channelized right turns
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Introduction: Previous studies have indicated low driver yielding rates to pedestrians in various countries. This study analyzed four different strategies to improve driver yielding rates at marked crosswalks on channelized ...
Investigating the behavior of railroad ballast in a box test under sinusoidal & simulated train loading
(
National Technical University of Athens
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
The use of railway transportation systems has been increased throughout the years. Conventional ballasted tracks have been widely used in many countries around the world. Ballast material is the basic element in ballasted ...
Assessment of turn signal use at two-lane roundabouts in Doha city
(
Elsevier B.V
, 2022 , Conference Paper)
Turn signal and lane change indicators can be identified as an effective way for drivers to communicate with each other. Additionally, the use of turn signals has significant safety implications. This study explored the ...
Transforming Challenges into Opportunities for Qatar’s Food Industry: Self-Sufficiency, Sustainability, and Global Food Trade Diversification
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
Food trade restrictions pose a serious risk for countries that are heavily reliant on food imports, potentially leading to food crises, inequality, and geopolitical conflicts on a global scale. However, such restrictions ...
Integrated Multi-Criteria Model for Long-Term Placement of Electric Vehicle Chargers
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
