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 ...
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 ...
Dynamic travel information strategies in advance traveler information systems and their effect on route choices along highways
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Advance Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) inform drivers about traffic incidences and expected travel times/ delays en-route. An online computer study was conducted in Qatar to investigate drivers' willingness ...
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 ...
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. ...
Empirical evaluation of drivers’ start-up behavior at signalized intersection using driving simulator
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Start-up behavior at signalized intersection mainly depends on perception reaction time of drivers to the green phase. This study investigated the start-up behavior at signalized intersections by considering reaction time, ...
Analysis of the Trajectories of Left-turning Vehicles at Signalized Intersections
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Internationally, an annual number of more than a million fatalities are caused by road traffic crashes, with particularly signalized intersections being crash prone locations within the highway system. An accumulation of ...
Nature-inspired cellular structure design for electric vehicle battery compartment: Application to crashworthiness
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
This paper discusses the potential of using lightweight nature-inspired cellular structured designs as energy absorbers in crashworthiness applications for electric vehicles (EV). As EVs are becoming popular with their ...
Study of mild steel sandwich structure energy absorption performance subjected to localized impulsive loading
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Extensive research focus had been given to sacrificial sandwich panels to mitigate the effects of blast loads. This is due to their ability to distribute the load and absorb a significant portion of the blast energy. This ...
