Pedestrians’ Microscopic Walking Dynamics in Single-File Movement: The Influence of Gender
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Demographics of individuals could largely influence their behaviors and interactions with surrounding pedestrians. This study investigates the influence of pedestrians’ gender on microscopic walking dynamics of single-file ...
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 ...
Mega Events and Crowd Evacuation at Tourist Attractions: A Case Study of Souq Waqif using Pedestride Crowd Simulation Tool
(
Qatar University Press
, 2020 , Poster)
Evacuating individuals at large gathering places can be achieved safely and efficiently through the detailed understanding of crowd dynamics within a certain location. Souq Waqif is a major tourist attraction in Qatar that ...
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 ...
Exploring Crowd Management and Evacuation Strategies using Microscopic Pedestrian Simulation: A Case Study of Souq Waqif
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Safe egress plans are critical for crowd evacuation at touristic attractions, particularly during special events, as visitors are often unaware of their options. Identification of bottlenecks in the walking spaces are vital ...
Lane-based analysis of the saturation flow rate considering traffic composition
(
Informa UK Limited - Taylor & Francis
, 2023 , Article)
Saturation flow rate (SFR) is an essential metric for estimating the capacities of signalized intersections. Many factors, including traffic composition, configuration and geometry of the intersection, and driver behavior, ...
Exploring Microscopic Characteristics of Bicycle Riders’ following Behaviors in a Single-File Movement
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
Cycling can bring a wide range of social, economic, and health benefits to individuals and communities. The safety and efficiency of bicycle facilities can be significantly impacted by the interactions among riders. This ...
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 ...
Interactions between autonomous vehicles and pedestrians at unsignalized mid-block crosswalks considering occlusions by opposing vehicles
(
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 ...
