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 ...
Well-to-wheel water footprints of conventional versus electric vehicles in the United States: A state-based comparative analysis
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Today, increasing levels of water demand become a particularly serious challenge for many countries, especially since water is an essential element for production of transportation fuels. Unfortunately, no research efforts ...
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 ...
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 ...
Investigating the Impacts of Graphical Route Information Panel Layouts on Drivers’ Comprehension and Response Time
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article)
Graphical route information panels (GRIPs) are an alternative to conventional text-based variable message signs to address different traveler information needs. Since drivers are traveling at higher speeds on the motorways, ...
An experimental investigation into mechanical behavior of hybrid and nonhybrid composite semi-elliptical springs
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2013 , Article)
This study introduces a new composite semi-elliptical suspension spring by utilizing fiber reinforced composite strength in principal direction instead of shear direction. Three types of composites were tested, namely, ...

This special issue presents selected papers submitted to the
15th World Conference in Transportation Research
WCTR2019, which was held in IIT Mumbai between 26th
& 29th of May 2019, under the Special Interest Group ...
Motorcyclists’ Safety on Expressways: Subjective and Objective Evaluations
(
Springer Berlin Heidelberg
, 2019 , Article)
This study objectively and subjectively investigates the factors influencing motorcyclists’ safety on expressways. The relationships between motorcyclist stress while driving on expressways and potential influencing factors ...
Throughput optimization for the Robotic Cell Problem with Controllable Processing Times
(
EDP Sciences
, 2017 , Article)
In this paper, we present a MIP-based heuristic and an effective genetic algorithm for the Robotic Cell Problem with Controllable Processing Times (RCPCPT). This problem arises in modern automated manufacturing systems and ...
Variable message sign strategies for congestion warning on motorways - A driving simulator study
(
Gioacchino Onorati Editore
, 2018 , Article)
Congestion and stopped traffic on motorways constitute a potential safety hazard for drivers. In particular, unexpected hard congestion tails are the causes of serious rear-end crashes as they compromise the drivers' ability ...
