Optical pavement treatments and their impact on speed and lateral position at transition zones: A driving simulator study
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Transition zones are a road section where posted speed drops from higher to lower limits. Due to the sudden changes in posted speed limits and road environment, drivers usually do not adapt to the posted speed limits and ... -
Pedestrian Crossing (Crosswalk)
( Elsevier , 2021 , Book chapter)Pedestrian crossings are facilities for pedestrians to cross at at-grade intersections or road sections safely. At unsignalized crossings, pedestrian safety is ensured by clarifying pedestrian priority with zebra markings, ... -
Pedestrian flow characteristics through different angled bends: Exploring the spatial variation of velocity
( Public Library of Science (PLOS) , 2022 , Article)Common geometrical layouts could potentially be bottlenecks, particularly during emergency and high density situations. When pedestrians are interacting with such complex geometrical settings, the congestion effect might ... -
Pedestrians' Crossing Behavior at Marked Crosswalks on Channelized Right-Turn Lanes at Intersections
( Elsevier B.V. , 2017 , Conference)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
( Elsevier B.V. , 2018 , Conference)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 ... -
