Autonomous electric vehicles can reduce carbon emissions and air pollution in cities
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Heavy dependence on personal vehicle usage made the transportation sector a major contributor to global climate change and air pollution in cities. In this study, we analyzed autonomous electric vehicles and compared their ...
Assessment of different pedestrian communication strategies for improving driver behavior at marked crosswalks on free channelized right turns
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Introduction: Previous studies have indicated low driver yielding rates to pedestrians in various countries. This study analyzed four different strategies to improve driver yielding rates at marked crosswalks on channelized ...

(
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 ...
Investigating the Impacts of Graphical Route Information Panel Layouts on Drivers’ Comprehension and Response Time
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article)
Graphical route information panels (GRIPs) are an alternative to conventional text-based variable message signs to address different traveler information needs. Since drivers are traveling at higher speeds on the motorways, ...
An experimental investigation into mechanical behavior of hybrid and nonhybrid composite semi-elliptical springs
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2013 , Article)
This study introduces a new composite semi-elliptical suspension spring by utilizing fiber reinforced composite strength in principal direction instead of shear direction. Three types of composites were tested, namely, ...
Motorcyclists’ Safety on Expressways: Subjective and Objective Evaluations
(

This study objectively and subjectively investigates the factors influencing motorcyclists’ safety on expressways. The relationships between motorcyclist stress while driving on expressways and potential influencing factors ...
Throughput optimization for the Robotic Cell Problem with Controllable Processing Times
(
EDP Sciences
, 2017 , Article)
In this paper, we present a MIP-based heuristic and an effective genetic algorithm for the Robotic Cell Problem with Controllable Processing Times (RCPCPT). This problem arises in modern automated manufacturing systems and ...
Variable message sign strategies for congestion warning on motorways - A driving simulator study
(
Gioacchino Onorati Editore
, 2018 , Article)
Congestion and stopped traffic on motorways constitute a potential safety hazard for drivers. In particular, unexpected hard congestion tails are the causes of serious rear-end crashes as they compromise the drivers' ability ...
Do detection-based warning strategies improve vehicle yielding behavior at uncontrolled midblock crosswalks?
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Pedestrians being the most vulnerable road users account for a large proportion of injuries and fatalities from road traffic crashes. Pedestrians are involved in around one-third of the whole fatalities coming from the ...
