Dynamic travel information strategies in advance traveler information systems and their effect on route choices along highways
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Advance Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) inform drivers about traffic incidences and expected travel times/ delays en-route. An online computer study was conducted in Qatar to investigate drivers' willingness ...
Innovative countermeasures for red light running prevention at signalized intersections: A driving simulator study
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , 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 ...
Blue collar laborers’ travel pattern recognition: Machine learning classifier approach
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
This paper proposes a pattern recognition model to develop clusters of homogenous activities for blue-collar workers in the State of Qatar. The activity-based data from the travel diary of 1051 blue-collar workers collected ...
Impact of the geometric field of view on drivers’ speed perception and lateral position in driving simulators
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Driving simulators have become an effective tool in road safety research. In recent years, the validity of simulators raised debates concerning the extant to which driving in the simulator resembles driving in the reality. ...
Empirical evaluation of drivers’ start-up behavior at signalized intersection using driving simulator
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Start-up behavior at signalized intersection mainly depends on perception reaction time of drivers to the green phase. This study investigated the start-up behavior at signalized intersections by considering reaction time, ...
Exploring the impacts of COVID-19 on travel behavior and mode preferences
(
ElsevierLtd.
, 2020 , Article)
Various measures were recommended or imposed by the governments to control the spread of COVID-19. Travel behaviors are significantly influenced due to such measures. However, people have various travel needs ranging from ...
Traffic safety culture of professional drivers in the State of Qatar
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Professional drivers play a significant role within the traffic system of the State of Qatar. With developing infrastructure, the need for professional drivers is growing. However, knowledge is lacking about their perception ...
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 ...
Analysis of Stopping Sight Distance (SSD) Parameters: A Review Study
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
Stopping sight distance (SSD) is one of the important elements in geometric highway design, which relies on the two key parameters, i.e., vehicle braking characteristics and drivers' reaction time. Previous studies have ...
Optical pavement treatments and their impact on speed and lateral position at transition zones: A driving simulator study
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Transition zones are a road section where posted speed drops from higher to lower limits. Due to the sudden changes in posted speed limits and road environment, drivers usually do not adapt to the posted speed limits and ...
