Effect of U-turns and heavy vehicles on the saturation flow rates of left-turn lanes at signalized intersections
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article)
© 2020 by the authors. The Saturation Flow Rate (SFR) is a primary measure that can be used when estimating intersection capacity. Further, the efficiency of signal control parameters also depends on the accuracy of assumed ...
Modeling Trajectories and Trajectory Variation of Turning Vehicles at Signalized Intersections
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
, 2020 , Article)
© 2013 IEEE. Information on the trajectories of turning vehicles at signalized intersections can be used in numerous applications, such as movement planning of autonomous vehicles, realistic representation of surrounding ...
Seat belt and child restraint systems : ESRA2 Thematic report No. 8
(
International Association of Traffic and Safety Sciences (IATSS)
, 2019 , Report)
ESRA (E-Survey of Road users’ Attitudes) is a joint initiative of road safety institutes, research centres, public services, and private sponsors from all over the world. The aim is to collect and analyse comparable data ...
Energy absorption capabilities of complex thin walled structures
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Thin walled structures have been used in the area of energy absorption during an event of a crash. A lot of work has been done on tubular structures. Due to limitation of manufacturing process, complex geometries were ...
Analysis of road traffic crashes in the State of Qatar
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
Road traffic crashes (RTCs) are globally acknowledged as increasing threat to society, because they can affect many lives when they result in severe injury or fatality. In the State of Qatar RTCs are getting more awareness ...
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 ...
Extraction of Vehicle Turning Trajectories at Signalized Intersections Using Convolutional Neural Networks
(
SpringerLink
, 2020 , Article)
This paper aims at developing a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based tool that can automatically detect the left-turning vehicles (right-hand traffic rule) at signalized intersections and extract their trajectories ...
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 ...
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 ...
Enhancing Pedestrian Safety through the Development of Advanced Operational Strategies for Crosswalks in Residential Areas
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
Pedestrians are the most vulnerable group in the traffic. Every year approximately 40,000 pedestrians are killed in the world due to road traffic crashes. In the state of Qatar, the situations are even worse with around ...
