Effect of ADHD traits in young drivers on self-reported deviant driving behaviours: An exploratory study in the Arab gulf region
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)IntroductionAttention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can be defined in two key traits (inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity), which can effect day-to-day capabilities such as driving performance. MethodsIn this ... -
Analysis of road traffic crashes in the State of Qatar
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)Road traffic crashes (RTCs) are globally acknowledged as increasing threat to society, because they can affect many lives when they result in severe injury or fatality. In the State of Qatar RTCs are getting more awareness ... -
Drivers’ estimation of their travelling speed: a study on an expressway and a local road
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)Correctly estimating the travelling speed is essential for safety on the roads to ensure safer interactions with other drivers and to avoid violations of traffic regulations. Therefore, it is important to create understanding ... -
Investigating the impact of dynamic merge control strategies on driving behavior on rural and urban expressways – A driving simulator study
( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)Harsh decelerations and abrupt lane changes of drivers on the outer expressway lane in response to merging platoon vehicles from on-ramps increase the crash- and congestion risk on expressways. Several merge control ... -
The relationship between impact speed and the probability of pedestrian fatality during a vehicle-pedestrian crash: A systematic review and meta-analysis
( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)Background Pedestrians struck in motorised vehicle crashes constitute the largest group of traffic fatalities worldwide. Excessive speed is the primary contributory factor in such crashes. The relationship between estimated ... -
A hybrid approach for identifying factors affecting driver reaction time using naturalistic driving data
( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) estimates that 80% of the deaths and injuries resulting from rear-end collisions could be prevented by the use of advanced collision avoidance systems. While autonomous or ... -
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 ... -
Modeling and simulation of pedestrian movement planning around corners
( MDPI AG , 2019 , Article)Owing to the complexity of behavioral dynamics and mechanisms associated with turning maneuvers, capturing pedestrian movements around corners in a mathematical model is a challenging task. In this study, minimum jerk and ... -
Investigating the Impacts of Graphical Route Information Panel Layouts on Drivers’ Comprehension and Response Time
( Springer Verlag , 2019 , Article)Graphical route information panels (GRIPs) are an alternative to conventional text-based variable message signs to address different traveler information needs. Since drivers are traveling at higher speeds on the motorways, ... -
