The relationship between impact speed and the probability of pedestrian fatality during a vehicle-pedestrian crash: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Background
Pedestrians struck in motorised vehicle crashes constitute the largest group of traffic fatalities worldwide. Excessive speed is the primary contributory factor in such crashes. The relationship between estimated ...
Modeling pedestrian crossing speed profiles considering speed change behavior for the safety assessment of signalized intersections
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Pedestrian safety is one of the most challenging issues in road networks. Understanding how pedestrians maneuver across an intersection is the key to applying countermeasures against traffic crashes. It is known that the ...
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 ...
Improved Traffic Flow Efficiency during Yellow Interval at Signalized Intersections Using a Smart Countdown System
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
, 2022 , Article)
Inadequate and unnecessary stopping at signalized intersections reduces operational efficiency. The study aims at investigating the effect of a smart advanced warning system on driving behavior and the efficiency of ...
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 ...
Safety and security perceptions in informal transport: the case of Tunisia
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2022 , Article)
This study aims to evaluate the perception of safety and security in informal transport in Tunisia. This research employs a questionnaire-based survey of passengers and drivers of informal transport in Tunisia. Interviews ...
Using driving simulator to study the effect of crash fact signs on speeding behaviour along freeways
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2022 , Article)
A driving simulator study was utilized to evaluate a potential countermeasure for speeding behaviour in order to reduce speed spillover. The behaviour of 56 subjects was observed. Participants drove a freeway for 5300 ...
Driving behavior classification at signalized intersections using vehicle kinematics: Application of unsupervised machine learning
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2022 , Article)
Driving behavior is considered as a unique driving habit of each driver and has a significant impact on road safety. This study proposed a novel data-driven Machine Learning framework that can classify driving behavior at ...
Examining the role of road safety audits worldwide: exploring road safety expert’s opinions
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2022 , Article)
Road safety audit (RSA) is a method used to proactively identify safety risks in road projects from planning, design, and construction stages. The effectiveness of the implementation of RSAs varies across the globe. This ...
Concentration of pb, cu, zn and cd in the roadside soil of doha: Effect of traffic volume and season
(
HARD
, 2021 , Article)
The concentration of copper (Cu), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) in the roadside soil of Doha was evaluated. Three different roads were selected for the study namely, Mesrif street, Salwa road and Cornish street ...
