Improved Traffic Flow Efficiency during Yellow Interval at Signalized Intersections Using a Smart Countdown System
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
, 2022 , Article)
Inadequate and unnecessary stopping at signalized intersections reduces operational efficiency. The study aims at investigating the effect of a smart advanced warning system on driving behavior and the efficiency of ...
Damping and vibration response of viscoelastic smart sandwich plate reinforced with non-uniform Graphene platelet with magnetorheological fluid core
(
Techno Press
, 2019 , Article)
This study considers the instability behavior of sandwich plates considering magnetorheological (MR) fluid core and piezoelectric reinforced facesheets. As facesheets at the top and bottom of structure have piezoelectric ...
Investigating the attitudes of Egyptian drivers toward traffic safety
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
One of the main pillars for improving road safety in any country is a good understanding of traffic safety culture and the driving behavior of local drivers. The primary aim of this study was to determine whether Egyptian ...
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Qatar Electricity Demand and Load Forecasting: Preparedness of Distribution Networks for Emerging Situations
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought several global challenges, one of which is meeting the electricity demand. Millions of people are confined to their homes, in each of which a reliable electricity supply is needed, to ...
Study of mild steel sandwich structure energy absorption performance subjected to localized impulsive loading
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Extensive research focus had been given to sacrificial sandwich panels to mitigate the effects of blast loads. This is due to their ability to distribute the load and absorb a significant portion of the blast energy. This ...
Innovative countermeasures for red light running prevention at signalized intersections: A driving simulator study
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
The change interval, which includes the yellow and all-red times, plays a crucial role in the safety and operation of signalized intersections. During this interval, drivers not only need to decide to stop or go but also ...
An integrated dynamical modeling perspective for infrastructure resilience
(
MDPI
, 2018 , Article)
© 2018 by the authors This paper considers a dynamical way to connect resilience outcomes and processes by nesting process-based approaches inside a controlled dynamical system under resource constraints. To illustrate ...
Empirical Study on Pedestrian Signal Design and Compliance in the State of Qatar
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2019 , Article)
To ensure safe crossing manoeuvres at signalized crosswalks, the pedestrian delays and allocation of sufficient pedestrian green and flashing green times should be considered at design stage. The pedestrian signal settings ...
Effectiveness of Consistency Measures in Crash Prediction Models for Two-Lane Highways in Palestine
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Article)
Crash prediction models (CPMs) are important tools to predict the safety performance of highways based on their operational and geometric characteristics. Most of these models use geometric design characteristics to predict ...
How sustainable is electric mobility? A comprehensive sustainability assessment approach for the case of Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
Electric mobility is a trending topic around the world, and many countries are supporting electric vehicle technologies to reduce environmental impacts from transportation such as greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution ...
