(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Book chapter)
Coronavirus drastically changes people's travel behavior all over the world. This study aims to investigate the effect of people's adaptive travel behavior on greenhouse gas (GHG) emission in south Asian countries. We ...
Investigating office buildings evacuations using unannounced fire drills: The case study of CERN, Switzerland
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
The main objective of this paper is to explore evacuees' behaviour during an unannounced fire drill using data collected in two office buildings located at CERN, in Switzerland. Overall, a total of 142 pre-evacuation time ...
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 ...
The appraisal of roadway environment and infrastructure by drivers with autism: A qualitative study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
People with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) might experience difficulties while driving, for instance, related to hazard perception. These difficulties may be related to cognitive issues (internal) such as attention-shifting, ...
Improved traffic safety at work zones through animation-based variable message signs
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Work zones are established to provide a safe environment for all road users and road workers. However, based on the statistics, they can be considered as crash prone zones due to changes in the road alignments and the ...
Autonomous vehicles between anticipation and apprehension: Investigations through safety and security perceptions
(

(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Visibility can be identified as one of the critical determinants for the safety performance of autonomous vehicles (AVs) on unsignalized mid-block crosswalks (UMC), which may be significantly influenced by build-up environment ...
Sandstorm animations on rural expressways: The impact of variable message sign strategies on driver behavior in low visibility conditions
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Problem: Evolving sandstorms on rural expressways in desert countries impair drivers' contrast vision and increase the risk of serious crashes due to delayed speed adjustments. Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) such as ...
Investigating the impact of a novel active gap metering signalization strategy on driver behavior at highway merging sections
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
A safe headway to the lead vehicle is important to reduce conflicts with merging vehicles from highway on-ramps. Previous research has outlined the advantage of gap metering strategies to yield sufficient space to merging ...
Driving simulation sickness and the sense of presence: Correlation and contributing factors
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Driving simulators are useful and effective tools for conducting studies in the field of traffic safety. Simulation sickness (SS) and the sense of presence (SP) are two well-known factors that could affect the results of ...
