Analysis of road traffic crashes in the State of Qatar
Timmermans C.; Alhajyaseen W.; Al Mamun A.; Wakjira T.; Qasem M.; Almallah M.; Younis H.... more authors ... less authors ( 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 ... -
Analyzing the impact of human characteristics on the comprehensibility of road traffic signs
Ghadban N.R.; Abdella G.M.; Alhajyaseen W.; Al-Khalifa K.N. ( IEOM Society , 2018 , Conference Paper)Traffic safety is one of major challenges facing most communities worldwide. To improve traffic safety, regulating traffic movement through markings, signs, channelization, and others is essential. Traffic signs are used ... -
Drivers� crossing behaviour between express and local lanes with soft separation: A driving simulator study
Awan H.H.; Sajid S.R.; Declercq K.; Adnan M.; Pirdavani A.; Alhajyaseen W.; Brijs T.... more authors ... less authors ( Gioacchino Onorati Editore , 2018 , Article)In different countries, hard separation is adopted as a technique to separate express and local lanes. However, in case of an incident, especially on the express lane, traffic jams can occur as there is no escape route. ... -
Effectiveness of Consistency Measures in Crash Prediction Models for Two-Lane Highways in Palestine
Al-Sahili K.; Dwaikat M.; Abu-Eisheh S.; Alhajyaseen W. ( Springer Verlag , 2018 , Article)Crash prediction models (CPMs) are important tools to predict the safety performance of highways based on their operational and geometric characteristics. Most of these models use geometric design characteristics to predict ... -
Investigating the Impacts of Graphical Route Information Panel Layouts on Drivers’ Comprehension and Response Time
Reinolsmann N.; Alhajyaseen W.; Brijs T.; Ross V.; Timmermans C.; Pirdavani A.; Hussain Q.; Brijs K.... more authors ... less authors ( 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, ... -
Modeling and simulation of pedestrian movement planning around corners
Dias C.; Abdullah M.; Sarvi M.; Lovreglio R.; Alhajyaseen W. ( 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 ... -
Ridge penalization-based generalized linear model (GzLM) for predicting risky-driving index
Rouf K.B.A.; Abdella G.M.; Al-Khalifa K.N.; Alhajyaseen W. ( IEOM Society , 2018 , Conference Paper)Road traffic crashes remain one of the major causes of preventable death and injury worldwide. Human behavior is considered one of the main factors leading to such tragic losses. In this paper, we analyze the responses of ... -
The impact of perceptual countermeasures on driving behavior in rural-urban transition road segments: A driving simulator study
Hussain Q.; Pirdavani A.; Arien C.; Brijs T.; Alhajyaseen W. ( Gioacchino Onorati Editore , 2018 , Article)This driving simulator study investigated the impact of perceptual countermeasures on driving behavior by creating perceptual effects via pavement markings. Two different marking schemes (i.e. Optical Circles and Optical ... -
Usage of Non-Linear Regression for Modeling the Behavior of Motor Vehicle Crash Fatality (MVF) Rate
Abdella G.M.; Alhajyaseen W.; Al-Khalifa K.N.; Hamouda A.M. ( IEOM Society , 2017 , Conference Paper)Data analysis for vehicular crash counts is essential for transportation and traffic management systems (TTMS) to develop practical and innovative road safety interventions. The crash trend analysis, in particular, is the ... -
Variable message sign strategies for congestion warning on motorways - A driving simulator study
Reinolsmann N.; Brijs K.; Brijs T.; Alhajyaseen W.; Cornu J.; Mollu K.... more authors ... less authors ( 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 ...
