Evaluation of Federal Highway Administration’s Traffic Noise Model for Pavements in Qatar
(
Springer Nature
, 2020 , Book chapter)
Traffic noise is an irritating problem especially for residents near major transportation corridors. It’s in the interest of transportation agencies to check the noise level to develop measures to reduce noise if it exceeds ...
IOT technologies and their applications in higher education
(
Taylor and Francis
, 2023 , Book chapter)
Technology development has recently focused on significant improvements in the way we achieve and process information from objects and systems to make decision. The communication among these objectives and different kinds ...
Differentiation among stability regimes of alumina-water nanofluids using smart classifiers
(
Techno Press
, 2022 , Article)
Nanofluids have recently triggered a substantial scientific interest as cooling media. However, their stability is challenging for successful engagement in industrial applications. Different factors, including temperature, ...
Autonomous vehicles between anticipation and apprehension: Investigations through safety and security perceptions
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Due to the ongoing enormous infrastructural developments and car ownership culture in Qatar, it could be one of those countries to introduce Autonomous Vehicles (AV) technology at the early stages. Therefore, this study ...
Interactions between autonomous vehicles and pedestrians at unsignalized mid-block crosswalks considering occlusions by opposing vehicles
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Visibility can be identified as one of the critical determinants for the safety performance of autonomous vehicles (AVs) on unsignalized mid-block crosswalks (UMC), which may be significantly influenced by build-up environment ...
Fuel consumption at signalized intersections: Investigating the impact of different signal indication settings
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2023 , Article)
The fuel consumption of vehicles depends on various factors including vehicle design, driving style, traffic management, and road design. Many manufacturers have been developing efficient and smart vehicles, which contributes ...
Driving simulation sickness and the sense of presence: Correlation and contributing factors
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Driving simulators are useful and effective tools for conducting studies in the field of traffic safety. Simulation sickness (SS) and the sense of presence (SP) are two well-known factors that could affect the results of ...
A novel agent-based framework for evaluating pedestrian safety at unsignalized mid-block crosswalks
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
A critical safety problem in road networks is the conflicts on unsignalized crosswalks. Thus, a proactive approach to assess pedestrian safety performance is required. Simulating the microscopic road user behavior in a ...
Geosynthetic-reinforced soils above voids: Observation and prediction of soil arching
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
The assumption with the biggest impact on the design of geosynthetic-reinforced soils above voids is the presence and degree of soil arching, which affects the predicted applied stress on the geosynthetic. A series of ...
Pure random orthogonal search (PROS): A plain and elegant parameterless algorithm for global optimization
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
A new, fast, elegant, and simple stochastic optimization search method is proposed, which exhibits surprisingly good performance and robustness considering its simplicity. We name the algorithm pure random orthogonal search ...
