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 ...
Investigating the impact of dynamic merge control strategies on driving behavior on rural and urban expressways – A driving simulator study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Harsh decelerations and abrupt lane changes of drivers on the outer expressway lane in response to merging platoon vehicles from on-ramps increase the crash- and congestion risk on expressways. Several merge control ...
The impact of perceptual countermeasures on driving behavior in rural-urban transition road segments: A driving simulator study
(
Gioacchino Onorati Editore
, 2018 , Article)
This driving simulator study investigated the impact of perceptual countermeasures on driving behavior by creating perceptual effects via pavement markings. Two different marking schemes (i.e. Optical Circles and Optical ...
Ridge penalization-based generalized linear model (GzLM) for predicting risky-driving index
(
IEOM Society
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Road traffic crashes remain one of the major causes of preventable death and injury worldwide. Human behavior is considered one of the main factors leading to such tragic losses. In this paper, we analyze the responses of ...
Investigating the attitudes of Egyptian drivers toward traffic safety
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
One of the main pillars for improving road safety in any country is a good understanding of traffic safety culture and the driving behavior of local drivers. The primary aim of this study was to determine whether Egyptian ...
Safer pedestrian crossing facilities on low-speed roads: Comparison of innovative treatments
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Despite the international efforts to improve pedestrian safety in different regions of the world, pedestrian fatalities still account for around one-third of annual road traffic deaths. Residential areas are commonly ...
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 ...
Time Pressure's Impact on Taxi Drivers' Driving Speed: A Driving Simulator Study
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Conference Paper)
The rapid global expansion of the taxi industry has brought significant safety concerns regarding taxi trips, particularly related to the frequency of taxi crashes and their potential impact on road safety. To address this ...
