The fuel consumption of vehicles depends on various factors including vehicle design, driving style, traffic management, and road design. Many manufacturers have been developing efficient and smart vehicles, which contributes ...
Sandstorm animations on rural expressways: The impact of variable message sign strategies on driver behavior in low visibility conditions
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Problem: Evolving sandstorms on rural expressways in desert countries impair drivers' contrast vision and increase the risk of serious crashes due to delayed speed adjustments. Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) such as ...

The impact of rural expressway environments: drivers’ attention allocation to variable message signs
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2022 , Article)
Variable Message Signs (VMS) are implemented at varying locations of the expressway. In this study, we compared the drivers’ attention allocation to a ‘drive safely’ message on several VMS gantries that were located at six ...
The effectiveness of applying dynamic lane assignment at all approaches of signalized intersection
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Existing traffic control strategies at signalized intersections aim at the optimization of signal timing parameters while assuming fixed lane assignments to the movements at each approach. Such control results in the waste ...
