Self-Report and Observational Assessment and Investigation of Seat Belt Use Among Young Drivers and Passengers: The Case of Qatar
(
Springer Berlin Heidelberg
, 2018 , Article)
Young drivers have the lowest rate of seat belt use among all age groups. The objective of this study was to investigate and assess the seat belt use behavior of young drivers by means of various methods, including ...
Assessing the impact of converting roundabouts to traffic signals on vehicle emissions along an urban arterial corridor in Qatar.
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2018 , Article)
The type of control at intersections has a major effect on the operation of any urban corridor. Different pre-defined procedures are available to calculate some of the main operational characteristics, such as capacity, ...
Understanding the association between cell phone use while driving and seat belt noncompliance in Qatar using logit models
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2018 , Article)
Cell phone use while driving can distract the driver and can lead to serious traffic safety problems. Similarly, not using a seat belt can increase the risk of injuries and/or fatalities in the event of a crash. The objective ...
Analysis of Pedestrian Crossing Speeds at Signalized Intersections in Qatar
(
Springer Berlin Heidelberg
, 2018 , Article)
Crossing speeds at signalized crossings are crucial and necessary for design purposes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the pedestrian crossing speeds at signalized intersections in Qatar. The crossing speeds ...
Estimating Turning Movements at Signalized Intersections Using Artificial Neural Networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
, 2018 , Article)
Intersection turning movements' counts are critical input data for traffic studies, analysis, and forecasting. These types of counts are often used to analyze operational performance of signalized intersections under ...
