Examining the role of road safety audits worldwide: exploring road safety expert’s opinions
( Taylor & Francis , 2022 , Article)Road safety audit (RSA) is a method used to proactively identify safety risks in road projects from planning, design, and construction stages. The effectiveness of the implementation of RSAs varies across the globe. This ... -
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 ... -
Experiences with licensing by autistic drivers: An exploratory study
( Elsevier B.V. , 2022 , Article)Autistic individuals obtain their driver's licenses significantly less or significantly later than non-autistic peers. In the past, research has been done on what problems autistic individuals experience when (learning to) ... -
Using driving simulator to study the effect of crash fact signs on speeding behaviour along freeways
( Taylor & Francis , 2022 , Article)A driving simulator study was utilized to evaluate a potential countermeasure for speeding behaviour in order to reduce speed spillover. The behaviour of 56 subjects was observed. Participants drove a freeway for 5300 ... -
Investigating the impact of a novel active gap metering signalization strategy on driver behavior at highway merging sections
( Elsevier Ltd , 2021 , Article)A safe headway to the lead vehicle is important to reduce conflicts with merging vehicles from highway on-ramps. Previous research has outlined the advantage of gap metering strategies to yield sufficient space to merging ... -
Road safety status during COVID-19 pandemic: exploring public and road safety expert’s opinions
( Taylor & Francis , 2022 , Article)The main objective of this study is to investigate the status of traffic safety and the public perception of traffic safety during the during COVID-19 pandemic. Three different data sets are used in this study: road crash ... -
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 ... -
A study on the determinants of Ethiopian minibus taxi drivers' speeding behaviour: An application of the 'major theorists' model
( Elsevier B.V. , 2022 , Article)Speeding is the most common road safety problem that results in many traffic accidents in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Minibus taxis substantially contribute to speed-related road traffic crashes in Addis Ababa. This study aimed ... -
The impact of rural expressway environments: drivers’ attention allocation to variable message signs
( Taylor & Francis , 2022 , Article)Variable Message Signs (VMS) are implemented at varying locations of the expressway. In this study, we compared the drivers’ attention allocation to a ‘drive safely’ message on several VMS gantries that were located at six ... -
Safety and security perceptions in informal transport: the case of Tunisia
( Taylor & Francis , 2022 , Article)This study aims to evaluate the perception of safety and security in informal transport in Tunisia. This research employs a questionnaire-based survey of passengers and drivers of informal transport in Tunisia. Interviews ... -
