A comparative study of the treatment of ethylene plant spent caustic by neutralization and classical and advanced oxidation
(
Academic Press
, 2015 , Article)
The treatment of spent caustic produced from an ethylene plant was investigated. In the case of neutralization alone it was found that the maximum removal of sulfide was at pH values below 5.5. The higher percentage removal ...
Using driving simulator to study the effect of crash fact signs on speeding behaviour along freeways
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2022 , Article)
A driving simulator study was utilized to evaluate a potential countermeasure for speeding behaviour in order to reduce speed spillover. The behaviour of 56 subjects was observed. Participants drove a freeway for 5300 ...
The impact of rural expressway environments: drivers’ attention allocation to variable message signs
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2022 , Article)
Variable Message Signs (VMS) are implemented at varying locations of the expressway. In this study, we compared the drivers’ attention allocation to a ‘drive safely’ message on several VMS gantries that were located at six ...
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 ...
Safety and security perceptions in informal transport: the case of Tunisia
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2022 , Article)
This study aims to evaluate the perception of safety and security in informal transport in Tunisia. This research employs a questionnaire-based survey of passengers and drivers of informal transport in Tunisia. Interviews ...
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 ...
Developing sustainable draw solute for forward osmosis process using poly(amidoamine) dendrimer coated magnetic nanoparticles
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2023 , Article)
Forward osmosis is the least energy intensive water treatment membrane process, however, designing a sustainable draw solute is still a critical research necessity. In this work, we developed Poly(amidoamine) dendrimer ...
A New Benchmark Problem for Structural Damage Detection: Bolt Loosening Tests on a Large-Scale Laboratory Structure
(
Springer
, 2022 , Conference)
Monitoring the structural performance of engineering structures has always been pertinent for maintaining structural health and assessing the life cycle of structures. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and Structural ...
A review of vibration-based damage detection in civil structures: From traditional methods to Machine Learning and Deep Learning applications
(
Academic Press
, 2021 , Article Review)
Monitoring structural damage is extremely important for sustaining and preserving the service life of civil structures. While successful monitoring provides resolute and staunch information on the health, serviceability, ...
Structural damage detection in real time: Implementation of 1D convolutional neural networks for SHM applications
(
Springer
, 2017 , Conference)
Most of the classical structural damage detection systems involve two processes, feature extraction and feature classification. Usually, the feature extraction process requires large computational effort which prevent the ...
