Effect of U-turns and heavy vehicles on the saturation flow rates of left-turn lanes at signalized intersections
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article)
© 2020 by the authors. The Saturation Flow Rate (SFR) is a primary measure that can be used when estimating intersection capacity. Further, the efficiency of signal control parameters also depends on the accuracy of assumed ...
Modeling Trajectories and Trajectory Variation of Turning Vehicles at Signalized Intersections
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
, 2020 , Article)
© 2013 IEEE. Information on the trajectories of turning vehicles at signalized intersections can be used in numerous applications, such as movement planning of autonomous vehicles, realistic representation of surrounding ...
Motorcyclists’ Safety on Expressways: Subjective and Objective Evaluations
(
Springer Berlin Heidelberg
, 2019 , Article)
This study objectively and subjectively investigates the factors influencing motorcyclists’ safety on expressways. The relationships between motorcyclist stress while driving on expressways and potential influencing factors ...
Defensive or competitive Autonomous Vehicles: Which one interacts safely and efficiently with pedestrians?
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The emergence of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) could provoke unexpected challenges in urban traffic environments. One such crucial challenge is the conflicts between pedestrians and AVs, particularly on unsignalized mid-block ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
