The Adoption of Electric Vehicles in Qatar Can Contribute to Net Carbon Emission Reduction but Requires Strong Government Incentives
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2021 , Article)
Electric mobility is at the forefront of innovation. Cutting down greenhouse gases when low-carbon electricity sources are maintained has answered the concerns of skeptics when switching to electric mobility. This paper ...
Crowd Evacuation through Crossing Configurations: Effect of Crossing Angles and Walking Speeds on Speed Variation and Evacuation Time
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2022 , Article)
The design of safe and efficient pedestrian facilities necessitates the knowledge of complex human movements, such as intersecting pedestrian streams, under different conditions. This study aims to experimentally investigate ...

(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
In the last few decades, cycling has received an increased attention due to its health, social, and economical benefits. Many countries are adopting different policies to encourage cycling as a daily mode of transport. In ...
Pedestrian flow characteristics through different angled bends: Exploring the spatial variation of velocity
(
Public Library of Science (PLOS)
, 2022 , Article)
Common geometrical layouts could potentially be bottlenecks, particularly during emergency and high density situations. When pedestrians are interacting with such complex geometrical settings, the congestion effect might ...
Delay or travel time information? The impact of advanced traveler information systems on drivers’ behavior before freeway work zones
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Peak travel times contribute to congestion formation at freeway work zones. Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) can inform drivers in real-time about the delays and travel times en-route and can provide information ...
Road Crossing at Unmarked Mid-Block Locations: Exploring Pedestrians’ Perception and Behavior
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
Violations, risky behaviors and perceptions may largely contribute to crashes involving pedestrians, particularly at unmarked mid-block locations. The likelihood and severity of crashes at mid-block locations are higher ...
Integrated modelling for sustainability assessment and decision making of alternative fuel buses
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
In this paper, a hybrid life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) model integrating multi region input–output analysis with novel multi-criteria decision-making techniques is proposed to assess three different fuel ...
Magnetorheological damper with external excitation for more efficient control of vehicles? dynamics
