An Artificial Intelligence Approach to Estimate Travel Time along Public Transportation Bus Lines
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Public transportation sectors have played significant roles in accommodating passengers
and commodities efficiently and effectively. The modes of public transportation
often follow pre-defined operation schedules and routes. ...
Literature Review of Advancements in Adaptive Ramp Metering
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Over a period spanning more than 30 years, several ramp metering algorithms have been developed to improve the operation of freeways. Many of these algorithms were deployed in several regions of the world, and field ...
Queue Discharge at Freeway On-Ramps Using Coordinated Operation of a Ramp Meter and an Upstream Traffic Signal
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Ramp metering is an effective way of maintaining optimum traffic conditions and mitigating congestion on freeways. Several strategies for ramp metering exist in the literature. They are typically based on the freeway traffic ...
Practical teaching and its importance in teaching civil engineering
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Students pursuing their civil engineering degree usually learn the theory part in class but may struggle to relate theory to practice if the instructor has no industry experience. Engineering graduates can benefit more ...
Comparison of SimTraffic and VISSIM Microscopic Traffic Simulation Tools in Modeling Roundabouts
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Abstract SimTraffic and VISSIM are two microscopic traffic simulation tools that are capable of modeling arterial roads with signalized intersections and roundabouts. This study compares the performance of the two simulation ...
Reveal the hidden layer via entity embedding in traffic prediction
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
The neural network-based models have been widely used in traffic prediction. They have improved accuracy and efficiency in traffic flow, speed, passenger flow, and delay. Many variables are considered to predict traffic ...
Using pavements to generate electricity
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
As part of developing a safe, efficient, and sustainable transportation infrastructure, health monitoring of pavements and bridges, as well as the monitoring of real-time roadway conditions for safety, have become increasingly ...
An Artificial Intelligence Approach to Estimate Peak-Hour Travel Time
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Average delays are an example of traffic network performance measures. They can be measured at intersections to estimate the average delay per vehicle at various levels, such as intersection, approach, or lane group. On ...
Investigating the reasons for choosing a major among the engineering students in Qatar
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The selection of an engineering major is a decision that can influence the career of young students, and possibly their entire fife. The purpose of this study is to understand the factors affecting the selection of an ...
Who Is Going to Ride the Upcoming Metro in Qatar?
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Qatar is one of the fastest growing countries around the world, resulting in substantially high private vehicle usage as well as heavy traffic congestion. It is currently estimated that the private car usage is about 85% ...
