Improved traffic safety at work zones through animation-based variable message signs
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Work zones are established to provide a safe environment for all road users and road workers. However, based on the statistics, they can be considered as crash prone zones due to changes in the road alignments and the ...
Interactions between autonomous vehicles and pedestrians at unsignalized mid-block crosswalks considering occlusions by opposing vehicles
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Visibility can be identified as one of the critical determinants for the safety performance of autonomous vehicles (AVs) on unsignalized mid-block crosswalks (UMC), which may be significantly influenced by build-up environment ...
Fuel consumption at signalized intersections: Investigating the impact of different signal indication settings
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2023 , Article)
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 ...
A novel agent-based framework for evaluating pedestrian safety at unsignalized mid-block crosswalks
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
A critical safety problem in road networks is the conflicts on unsignalized crosswalks. Thus, a proactive approach to assess pedestrian safety performance is required. Simulating the microscopic road user behavior in a ...
Evacuation under flooded conditions: Experimental investigation of the influence of water depth on walking behaviors
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Flooding can be considered as the most frequent type of natural disaster, and it is an unavoidable phenomenon in many parts of the world. Ensuring the safety of people during such natural disasters is extremely important. ...
Studying critical pedestrian behavioral changes for the safety assessment at signalized crosswalks
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Pedestrian-vehicle conflicts are one of the most important safety concerns at signalized intersections especially in urban areas. Conflicting vehicles and pedestrians select their maneuvers by predicting the other user ...
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 ...
Speed perception and actual speed in a driving simulator and real-world: A validation study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Background: Driving simulators have become an effective research tool in traffic safety, but the validity of results obtained in simulated environments remains a debated issue of high importance. Objective: The objective ...
The relation between driving errors and executive functioning in intellectually able young novice drivers with autism
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Driving is a complex, goal-directed task. ASD can be related to impairments in executive functioning (EF), which may interfere with driving. This study aimed to investigate (1) if 16 young novice drivers with ASD exhibited ...
