( Springer , 2020 , Article)© 2020, King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals. Field experiments of autonomous driving systems have already been started in several countries around the world. However, investigations on the performance of signalized ... -
Investigating the impact of a novel active gap metering signalization strategy on driver behavior at highway merging sections
( Elsevier Ltd , 2021 , Article)A safe headway to the lead vehicle is important to reduce conflicts with merging vehicles from highway on-ramps. Previous research has outlined the advantage of gap metering strategies to yield sufficient space to merging ... -
Investigating the impact of dynamic merge control strategies on driving behavior on rural and urban expressways – A driving simulator study
( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)Harsh decelerations and abrupt lane changes of drivers on the outer expressway lane in response to merging platoon vehicles from on-ramps increase the crash- and congestion risk on expressways. Several merge control ... -
Investigating the impact of innovative treatments on driving behavior at school bus stops: A driving simulator study
( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)The illegal overtaking/crossing of stopped school buses has been identified as one of the leading causes of students' injuries and fatalities. The likelihood of students in getting involved in a school bus-related crash ... -
Investigating the Impacts of Graphical Route Information Panel Layouts on Drivers’ Comprehension and Response Time
( Springer Verlag , 2019 , Article)Graphical route information panels (GRIPs) are an alternative to conventional text-based variable message signs to address different traveler information needs. Since drivers are traveling at higher speeds on the motorways, ... -
Investigation of factors affecting turn signal usage at modern roundabouts in State of Qatar
( Informa UK Limited - Taylor & Francis , 2023 , Article)Drivers are expected to use turn signals to indicate other drivers of their intentions of taking turns, lane changing, merging or diverging indicating safe driving behaviour. This study investigated the rates of turn signal ... -
Lane-based analysis of the saturation flow rate considering traffic composition
( Informa UK Limited - Taylor & Francis , 2023 , Article)Saturation flow rate (SFR) is an essential metric for estimating the capacities of signalized intersections. Many factors, including traffic composition, configuration and geometry of the intersection, and driver behavior, ... -
