VANET-Based smart navigation for vehicle crowds: FIFA world cup 2022 case study
( IEEE Conference and Exhibition on Global Telecommunications (GLOBECOM) , 2019 , Conference Paper)Non-recurrent events (e.g. football events or evacuation in case of natural disasters) pose great challenges to vehicle routing and traffic management in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs). The high traffic demand ... -
Vapor sensing performances of PVDF nanocomposites containing titanium dioxide nanotubes decorated multi-walled carbon nanotubes
( Springer New York LLC , 2018 , Article)Inorganic nanocarbon hybrid materials are good alternatives for superior electrochemical performance and specific capacitance to their traditional counterparts. Nanocarbons act as a good template for the growth of metal ... -
Vapour-Phase Selective Hydrogenation of γ-Valerolactone to 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran Biofuel over Silica-Supported Copper Catalysts
( MDPI , 2022 , Article)2-Methyltetrahydrofuran (MTHF) is a desirable biomass-based platform chemical with excellent potential as an ideal biofuel, green solvent, and raw material for synthesizing downstream chemicals. In this work, a series of ... -
Variability in Genomic Patterns of Bacterial Communities Related to Tarmats and Quantification of Hydrocarbon Present in the Tarmats Deposited along the Qatar Coast
(2020 , Master Thesis)Qatar has undergone a rapid transition from a fishing and small agriculture to an economy focused on oil and gas since 1960. Owing to the comparatively large level of oil and gas production, the region has become severely ... -
Variability of blue carbon storage in arid evaporitic environment of two coastal Sabkhas or mudflats
( Nature Research , 2023 , Article)Coastal Sabkhas are mudflats found in arid coastal regions that are located within the supratidal zone when high rates of evaporation lead to high salinity. While evaporitic minerals often accumulate underneath the surface, ... -
Variability of Physical and Biogeochemical Parameters in the Exclusive Economic Zone of Qatar
( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)The oceanographic data collected along a transect in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Qatar during late summer (September 2014) and winter (January 2015) have been analyzed to investigate the spatial and temporal ... -
Variability Of Wind System And Its Expected Effects On Oil Slick Movement In The Arabian Gulf
( Qatar University , 1992 , Article)The marine data required for the models of the oil spill movement prediction (current and wind data) are discussed. The available water current data in the Arabian Gulf can not be used with confidence because of lack of ... -
Variable Message Sign strategies for Congestion Warning on Motorways
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2018 , Conference Paper)Introduction Motorways are the safest roads by design and regulation. Still, motorways in the European Union accounted for nearly 27,500 fatalities from 2004 to 2013 (Adminaite, Allsop, & Jost, 2015). The likelihood ... -
Variable message sign strategies for congestion warning on motorways - A driving simulator study
( Gioacchino Onorati Editore , 2018 , Article)Congestion and stopped traffic on motorways constitute a potential safety hazard for drivers. In particular, unexpected hard congestion tails are the causes of serious rear-end crashes as they compromise the drivers' ability ... -
