A vision-based zebra crossing detection method for people with visual impairments
(
IEEE
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Safe navigation for visually impaired is challenging without assistive technology. This paper proposes a pedestrian crossing detection approach to help visually impaired people. We introduce the use of multiple convolutional ...
Effectiveness of Speed Limit Pavement Markings at Transition Zones Along Expressways
(
IEEE
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Transition zones are usually equipped with speed limit signs only. Drivers usually miss the speed limit information provided through the roadside signs and travel faster than the posted speed limit. This driving simulator ...

An overview of pedestrian signal setting and implementation in the State of Qatar
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Pedestrian signal control is a main influencing factor on the Level of Service of crossing facilities and on the safety performance considering conflicts with vehicles. In signal design, pedestrian clearance time is a key ...
New Simulation Model for Workload Analysis Addressing Occupational Stress in a Production Company
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Conference Paper)
In today's world, occupational stress is identified as a major health issue within most organizations. The reason the spotlight has been focused on occupational stress in recent years is that it can have a negative impact ...
Consideration of a Pedestrian Speed Change Model in the Pedestrian-Vehicle Safety Assessment of Signalized Crosswalks
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
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 ...
Pedestrians' Crossing Behavior at Marked Crosswalks on Channelized Right-Turn Lanes at Intersections
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
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 ...
Solving a Bus Routing Problem Arising in Doha
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2022 , Conference Paper)
The generic variant of the school bus routing problem requires finding a set of routes that cover a predefined set of student pickup locations in order to minimize travel time while satisfying various constraints. In this ...
Relationship between Chauffeurs' Demographics, and Knowledge of Traffic Signs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
(
Elsevier B.V.
