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 ...
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 ...

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 ...
Analyzing the impact of human characteristics on the comprehensibility of road traffic signs
(
IEOM Society
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Traffic safety is one of major challenges facing most communities worldwide. To improve traffic safety, regulating traffic movement through markings, signs, channelization, and others is essential. Traffic signs are used ...
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 ...
The performance assessment for the dMEWMA in capturing changes in simple linear profiles
(
IEOM Society
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In traditional quality control, the quality of product is typically modeled as the univariate or multivariate distribution of the quality parameters. In more recent applications, the quality is modeled using the relationship ...
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 ...
Numerical and experimental investigation on corrugation geometry for metallic tubes under lateral loading
(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Energy absorption devices are being used to protect structures from severe damages and reduce injury to occupants during accidents. The integrated characteristics of crash absorption devices can be classified as high energy ...
Usage of Non-Linear Regression for Modeling the Behavior of Motor Vehicle Crash Fatality (MVF) Rate
(
IEOM Society
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Data analysis for vehicular crash counts is essential for transportation and traffic management systems (TTMS) to develop practical and innovative road safety interventions. The crash trend analysis, in particular, is the ...
Attitudes towards road safety among pre-drivers: The case of Qatar
(
IEOM Society
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
A preliminary study involving school students aged 12-18 years attempted to test whether there is difference in attitudes towards road safety between Arab and non-Arab respondents. The sampled participants were categorized ...
