Analysis of gap parameters for the estimation of single lane roundabouts' capacity in the State of Qatar
( Elsevier B.V. , 2021 , Conference)Entry capacity is an important parameter for evaluating the roundabout performance. In general, entry capacity is influenced by three gap parameters: critical gap, follow-up time and minimum headway of circulating vehicles. ... -
Analysis of the Trajectories of Left-turning Vehicles at Signalized Intersections
( Elsevier B.V. , 2020 , Conference)Internationally, an annual number of more than a million fatalities are caused by road traffic crashes, with particularly signalized intersections being crash prone locations within the highway system. An accumulation of ... -
Analysis of Vehicle Breakdown Conditions of Motorcycle Food Delivery Riders with Demographics and Work Characteristics
( Elsevier , 2025 , Conference)Motorcycle food delivery riders (MFDRs) in Qatar often maximize their income by completing more rides and disregarding regular maintenance of vehicles. This could result in motorcycle breakdowns that could affect the safety ... -
Analyzing the impact of human characteristics on the comprehensibility of road traffic signs
( IEOM Society , 2018 , Conference)Traffic safety is one of major challenges facing most communities worldwide. To improve traffic safety, regulating traffic movement through markings, signs, channelization, and others is essential. Traffic signs are used ... -
Anticipating the impacts of mega events on host-country agri-food supply chains: a synthesis based on a simulation of the World Cup 2022 in Qatar
( Elsevier , 2025 , Conference)Agri-food supply chains are likely to be disrupted during mega events. In order to prevent food waste and financial losses, it is crucial to respond and recover quickly from these disruptions. In fact, hosting such events ... -
Application of Deep Reinforcement Learning in Training Autonomous Vehicles: A bibliometric analysis
( Elsevier , 2025 , Conference)Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL), a subset of machine learning, combines reinforcement learning with deep learning by using deep neural networks as function. This study assesses the research undertaken for advancement of ... -
Are Professional Drivers more Aggressive than General Drivers? A Case Study from Doha, Qatar
( Elsevier B.V. , 2022 , Conference)Previous studies have revealed that aggressive and reckless driving can largely affect the occurrence and severity of road crashes. There could be intentional aggressive and unsafe acts, which could significantly affect ... -
Assessing an automated people mover system in Qatar through traffic microsimulation
( Elsevier , 2025 , Conference)Automated People Mover bus systems are considered a key in improving a city's transport system performance, as they can pool several passengers together, resulting in few cars on the roads. Such systems are expected to ... -
Assessing Preferences and Feasibility of Multi-Seat Child Restraint Systems (CRS) for Multi-Child Households in Qatar
( Elsevier , 2025 , Conference)Child Restraint Systems (CRSs) are essential for child passenger safety, yet global adoption rates remain critically low, with usage often falling below 20% in many regions due to socioeconomic and cultural barriers. Larger ... -
Attitudes towards road safety among pre-drivers: The case of Qatar
( IEOM Society , 2018 , Conference)A preliminary study involving school students aged 12-18 years attempted to test whether there is difference in attitudes towards road safety between Arab and non-Arab respondents. The sampled participants were categorized ... -
Changes in Driving Behavior Across Age Cohorts in an Arab Culture: The Case of State of Qatar
( Elsevier B.V. , 2018 , Conference)In this investigation, we aimed to examine the structure of the Driving Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ) across age cohorts spanning 14 to 55 years in the State of Qatar. In addition, we aimed to examine variations in driving ... -
Consideration of a Pedestrian Speed Change Model in the Pedestrian-Vehicle Safety Assessment of Signalized Crosswalks
( Elsevier B.V. , 2017 , Conference)Pedestrian safety is one of the most challenging issues in the road network. Understanding the pedestrian maneuver is the key to applying countermeasures against traffic crashes. It is known that behaviors of pedestrians ... -
