Impact of the geometric field of view on drivers’ speed perception and lateral position in driving simulators
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Driving simulators have become an effective tool in road safety research. In recent years, the validity of simulators raised debates concerning the extant to which driving in the simulator resembles driving in the reality. ...
Modeling and simulation of pedestrian movement planning around corners
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Owing to the complexity of behavioral dynamics and mechanisms associated with turning maneuvers, capturing pedestrian movements around corners in a mathematical model is a challenging task. In this study, minimum jerk and ...
Performance Evaluation of Vehicle Restraint Systems in the Context of Design and Installation
(2021 , Article)
Vehicle Restraint Systems (VRS), a necessary component of the road design, are widely implemented by transport authorities to protect vehicles from severe incidents, mainly colliding to the roadside as well as median ...
A Strategy for Emergency Vehicle Preemption and Route Selection
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article)
Emergency vehicle preemption (EVP) aims to give right of way to emergency vehicles (EV) heading toward the incident location through a network of signalized intersections by creating a green wave en-route. The design goals ...
Optical pavement treatments and their impact on speed and lateral position at transition zones: A driving simulator study
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Transition zones are a road section where posted speed drops from higher to lower limits. Due to the sudden changes in posted speed limits and road environment, drivers usually do not adapt to the posted speed limits and ...
Investigating the impact of innovative treatments on driving behavior at school bus stops: A driving simulator study
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
The illegal overtaking/crossing of stopped school buses has been identified as one of the leading causes of students' injuries and fatalities. The likelihood of students in getting involved in a school bus-related crash ...
Innovative countermeasures for red light running prevention at signalized intersections: A driving simulator study
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
The change interval, which includes the yellow and all-red times, plays a crucial role in the safety and operation of signalized intersections. During this interval, drivers not only need to decide to stop or go but also ...
Emerging Transit Technology: Implementing an Urban Gondola System over Al Corniche, Doha, Qatar - A Cost Estimation Study
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Urban gondolas are a type of driverless transit vehicles, which are increasingly drawing
the attention as a viable mass transit alternative in urban environments and touristic
areas. The system is distinctive with high ...
