Effectiveness of Driver Simulator as a Driving Education Tool
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The impact and validity of driving simulators as an educational tool in driving schools in the licensing process remains questioned in literature. Many driving schools utilize driving simulators as a tool to assist students ...
Pedestrians' Crossing Behavior at Marked Crosswalks on Channelized Right-Turn Lanes at Intersections
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Unsignalized marked crosswalks are problematic locations from pedestrians' safety perspective. Although the priority rule at such locations is clear; pedestrians have the absolute right of way over vehicles, driver often ...
Relationship between Chauffeurs' Demographics, and Knowledge of Traffic Signs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Authorities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) are investing heavily on developing Intelligent Transport Systems, which includes installations of Variable Message Signs (VMS) for the road users. However, it is challenging ...
Real-time Driver Drowsiness Detection for Android Application Using Deep Neural Networks Techniques
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Road crashes and related forms of accidents are a common cause of injury and death among the human population. According to 2015 data from the World Health Organization, road traffic injuries resulted in approximately 1.25 ...
Changes in Driving Behavior Across Age Cohorts in an Arab Culture: The Case of State of Qatar
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In this investigation, we aimed to examine the structure of the Driving Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ) across age cohorts spanning 14 to 55 years in the State of Qatar. In addition, we aimed to examine variations in driving ...
Pedestrians' Speed Analysis at Signalized Crosswalks
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Pedestrian speed is essential for designing signal timings as well as for understanding pedestrian safety issues. This paper presents analysis of three types of pedestrian speeds (entry speed, crossing speed, and exit ...
Consideration of a Pedestrian Speed Change Model in the Pedestrian-Vehicle Safety Assessment of Signalized Crosswalks
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Pedestrian safety is one of the most challenging issues in the road network. Understanding the pedestrian maneuver is the key to applying countermeasures against traffic crashes. It is known that behaviors of pedestrians ...
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. ...
Analysis of gap parameters for the estimation of single lane roundabouts' capacity in the State of Qatar
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
Entry capacity is an important parameter for evaluating the roundabout performance. In general, entry capacity is influenced by three gap parameters: critical gap, follow-up time and minimum headway of circulating vehicles. ...
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 ...
