The relationship between impact speed and the probability of pedestrian fatality during a vehicle-pedestrian crash: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Background
Pedestrians struck in motorised vehicle crashes constitute the largest group of traffic fatalities worldwide. Excessive speed is the primary contributory factor in such crashes. The relationship between estimated ...
Modeling pedestrian crossing speed profiles considering speed change behavior for the safety assessment of signalized intersections
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Pedestrian safety is one of the most challenging issues in road networks. Understanding how pedestrians maneuver across an intersection is the key to applying countermeasures against traffic crashes. It is known that the ...
The effectiveness of applying dynamic lane assignment at all approaches of signalized intersection
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Existing traffic control strategies at signalized intersections aim at the optimization of signal timing parameters while assuming fixed lane assignments to the movements at each approach. Such control results in the waste ...
Improved Traffic Flow Efficiency during Yellow Interval at Signalized Intersections Using a Smart Countdown System
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
, 2022 , Article)
Inadequate and unnecessary stopping at signalized intersections reduces operational efficiency. The study aims at investigating the effect of a smart advanced warning system on driving behavior and the efficiency of ...
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 ...
Studying critical pedestrian behavioral changes for the safety assessment at signalized crosswalks
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Pedestrian-vehicle conflicts are one of the most important safety concerns at signalized intersections especially in urban areas. Conflicting vehicles and pedestrians select their maneuvers by predicting the other user ...
A comparative study on the operational performance of four-leg intersections by control type
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The selection of proper control types at intersections at the planning stage is an important concern considering the difficulty in comparing the performance of different control types. Therefore, several manuals proposed ...
The State of Qatar and the United Arab Emirates
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
This chapter discusses the principles of road traffic signal control in the State of Qatar and the United Arab Emirate (UAE). In the first section, traffic control standards used in both countries are presented with a focus ...
