A model for predicting failure of oil pipelines
( Taylor & Francis , 2014 , Article)Oil and gas pipelines transport millions of dollars of goods everyday worldwide. Even though they are the safest way to transport petroleum products, pipelines do still fail generating hazardous consequences and irreparable ... -
Aberrant driving behaviors as mediators in the relationship between driving anger patterns and crashes among taxi drivers: An investigation in a complex cultural context
( Taylor & Francis , 2023 , Article)Objective: Taxis have become an integrated component of Qatar’s urban transportation network due to their convenience, comfort, and flexibility. Qatar has seen an uptick in the demand for professional taxi drivers. Most ... -
Adaptive cumulative sum charts with the adaptive runs rule
( Taylor & Francis , 2013 , Article)Adaptive cumulative sum (ACUSUM) charts, which adjust the reference value dynamically based on estimated shift size, provide good performance in detecting a range of mean shifts. However, when the range is wide, ACUSUM may ... -
An adaptive step-down procedure for fault variable identification
( Taylor & Francis , 2015 , Article)In a process with a large number of process variables (high-dimensional process), identifying which variables cause an out-of-control signal is a challenging issue for quality engineers. In this paper, we propose an adaptive ... -
Artificial Intelligence and Cyber Defense System for Banking Industry: A Qualitative Study of AI Applications and Challenges
( Taylor & Francis , 2022 , Article)Cyberattacks are becoming more and more intense in the banking industry (Ryzhkova et al. 2020). Banking industry is trying to adopt artificial intelligence to create cyber defence system so that the unauthorized access and ... -
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, ... -
Comprehensive evaluation of long-term aging of asphalt mixtures in hot climatic condition
( Taylor & Francis , 2018 , Article)Aging is an inevitable phenomenon in hot mix asphalt production and during in-service period of flexible pavement operation. This paper presents an experimental evaluation of long-term aging of asphalt mixtures in Qatar. ... -
Condition-based maintenance for continuously monitored degrading systems with multiple failure modes
( Taylor & Francis , 2013 , Article)This article develops an optimum Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) policy for continuously monitored degrading systems with multiple failure modes. The degradation of system state is described by a stochastic process, and ... -
Disruption factor of asphalt mixtures
( Taylor & Francis , 2012 , Article)Typically, aggregate gradation is selected to meet Superpave mix design specification; however, many Superpave mixtures have exhibited deficient field performance. The porosity of the dominant aggregate size range (DASR), ... -
Economic cost models of integrated APC controlled SPC charts
( Taylor & Francis , 2012 , Article)In this paper, an economic cost model is proposed for processes integrating both automatic process control (APC) and statistical process control (SPC) for quality monitoring and control. Both the special cause and common ... -
A framework for the analysis of damage and recovery characteristics of asphalt mixtures
( Taylor & Francis , 2020 , Article)This study presents two approaches for evaluating damage and recovery characteristics of asphalt mixtures. The first approach focuses on determining damage by extracting recoverable viscoelastic strain that has no damage ... -
Human factors and road safety in the 2nd international traffic safety conference
( Taylor & Francis , 2023 , Other)This special issue presents selected articles submitted to the 2nd International Traffic Safety Conference 2023, Doha, (Qatar). More than 150 papers were submitted and they were peer-reviewed. Only 16 papers were highly ... -
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 ... -
Implementation of mechanistic-empirical pavement analysis in the State of Qatar
( Taylor & Francis , 2014 , Article)The State of Qatar is experiencing tremendous growth in infrastructure including road network and highways. The current methods used in design of asphalt pavements in the State of Qatar are empirical and might not be ... -
