Supply Chain Linked Sustainability Assessment of Electric Vehicles: The Case for Qatar
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Electric vehicles are important technologies to reduce adverse environmental impacts stemming from transportation. In this paper, we investigated the environmental, social, and economic impacts of electric vehicles in ...
Exploring the Social, Economic and Environmental Footprint of Food Consumption: A Supply Chain-linked Sustainability Assessment
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
This research is the first empirical analysis on the macro-level social, economic and environmental impacts of food consumption categories in the United States of America. Current study assessed the direct and supply ...
Modeling pedestrian gap acceptance behavior at a six-lane urban road
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
The illegal crossing behavior of pedestrians at unmarked mid-block sections is unsafe, risky, and increase the potential of severe conflicts and crashes, especially in the case of multilane roads. This paper investigates ...
Road users' behavior at marked Crosswalks on channelized right-turn lanes at intersections in the state of Qatar
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
At non-signalized marked crosswalks, pedestrian priority is neither well-defined nor well acknowledged by drivers. This paper presents the findings of an investigation on both driver and pedestrian behavior at non-signalized ...
A Strategy for Emergency Vehicle Preemption and Route Selection
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article)
Emergency vehicle preemption (EVP) aims to give right of way to emergency vehicles (EV) heading toward the incident location through a network of signalized intersections by creating a green wave en-route. The design goals ...
A New Framework for Addressing High-level Decisions Related to Sustainable Transportation Development
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
Stakeholders in the transportation industry have been concerned with sustainability. However, transportation decision makers have had difficulty in incorporating sustainability into transportation infrastructure decisions ...
Damping and vibration response of viscoelastic smart sandwich plate reinforced with non-uniform Graphene platelet with magnetorheological fluid core
(
Techno Press
, 2019 , Article)
This study considers the instability behavior of sandwich plates considering magnetorheological (MR) fluid core and piezoelectric reinforced facesheets. As facesheets at the top and bottom of structure have piezoelectric ...

(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
This research aims to provide important insights regarding the environmental and socioeconomic impacts of the world's largest food producing countries based on four sustainability metrics: energy use, carbon footprint, ...
Penalized Conway-Maxwell-Poisson regression for modelling dispersed discrete data: The case study of motor vehicle crash frequency
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Statistical modelling of road crashes has been of extreme interest to researchers over the last decades. Such models are necessary for the investigation of the opportunities for road safety improvement. The motor vehicle ...
Experimental analysis of additively manufactured thin-walled heat-treated circular tubes with slits using AlSi10Mg alloy by quasi-static axial crushing test
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In this study, additively manufactured aluminum thin-walled tubes with different slit dimensions are proposed to improve energy absorption efficiency. A total of 18 samples, which varied in the number of slits, slit length, ...
