An assessment tool to evaluate complete streets in developing countries: The case of Qatar
(
Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
, 2018 , Article)
Complete streets refer to a simple and effective transportation policy to improve traffic safety and comfort for all users within urban areas. Car dependency is a major concern in developing countries. Endorsing complete ...
Pedestrian crashes at priority-controlled junctions, roundabouts, and signalized junctions: The UK case study
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Objectives: Over half of pedestrians killed and seriously injured in Great Britain in 2015 were involved in crashes at junctions. This study investigates the nature of these crashes. Methods: A study was conducted into ...
Evaluating the effect of seasonal variations on walking behaviour in a hot weather country using logistic regression
(
Routledge
, 2018 , Article)
The city of Doha, Qatar experiences a hot and arid weather throughout the year. This study investigates the effect of season, type of day, and time of day on the walking behaviour of pedestrians in these conditions using ...
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 ...
Road users' behavior at marked Crosswalks on channelized right-turn lanes at intersections in the state of Qatar
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
At non-signalized marked crosswalks, pedestrian priority is neither well-defined nor well acknowledged by drivers. This paper presents the findings of an investigation on both driver and pedestrian behavior at non-signalized ...
Analysis of illegal pedestrian crossing behavior on a major divided arterial road
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Pedestrians’ illegal mid-block crossing increases the chances of a crash compared to crossing at marked or signalized crosswalks. Therefore, it is necessary to have an accurate understanding of this type of behavior to be ...
Pedestrians' Crossing Behavior at Marked Crosswalks on Channelized Right-Turn Lanes at Intersections
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Unsignalized marked crosswalks are problematic locations from pedestrians' safety perspective. Although the priority rule at such locations is clear; pedestrians have the absolute right of way over vehicles, driver often ...
Relationship between Chauffeurs' Demographics, and Knowledge of Traffic Signs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Authorities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) are investing heavily on developing Intelligent Transport Systems, which includes installations of Variable Message Signs (VMS) for the road users. However, it is challenging ...
Pedestrians' Speed Analysis at Signalized Crosswalks
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Pedestrian speed is essential for designing signal timings as well as for understanding pedestrian safety issues. This paper presents analysis of three types of pedestrian speeds (entry speed, crossing speed, and exit ...
An overview of pedestrian signal setting and implementation in the State of Qatar
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Pedestrian signal control is a main influencing factor on the Level of Service of crossing facilities and on the safety performance considering conflicts with vehicles. In signal design, pedestrian clearance time is a key ...
