Effectiveness of Consistency Measures in Crash Prediction Models for Two-Lane Highways in Palestine
(
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 ...
A Real Case-Based Study Exploring Influence of Human Age and Gender on Drivers’ Behavior and Traffic Safety
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The demand for understanding the functional relationship between changes in traffic safety level and human-related factors has increased remarkably due to a steady increase in population and traffic volume. Motor vehicle ...
Ridge penalization-based generalized linear model (GzLM) for predicting risky-driving index
(
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 performance assessment for the dMEWMA in capturing changes in simple linear profiles
(
IEOM Society
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In traditional quality control, the quality of product is typically modeled as the univariate or multivariate distribution of the quality parameters. In more recent applications, the quality is modeled using the relationship ...
An experimental investigation into mechanical behavior of hybrid and nonhybrid composite semi-elliptical springs
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2013 , Article)
This study introduces a new composite semi-elliptical suspension spring by utilizing fiber reinforced composite strength in principal direction instead of shear direction. Three types of composites were tested, namely, ...
Numerical and experimental investigation on corrugation geometry for metallic tubes under lateral loading
(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Energy absorption devices are being used to protect structures from severe damages and reduce injury to occupants during accidents. The integrated characteristics of crash absorption devices can be classified as high energy ...
Drivers’ estimation of their travelling speed: a study on an expressway and a local road
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
Correctly estimating the travelling speed is essential for safety on the roads to ensure safer interactions with other drivers and to avoid violations of traffic regulations. Therefore, it is important to create understanding ...
Modeling the Impact of Downstream Conditions on Discharging Behavior of Vehicles at Signalized Intersections Using Micro-Simulation
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
In areas where traffic demand is high and intersections are closely spaced, the drivers’ desire for quick discharge is demotivated by negative downstream conditions, such as long queues and poorly coordinated traffic ...
Investigating the behavior of railroad ballast in a box test under sinusoidal & simulated train loading
(
National Technical University of Athens
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
The use of railway transportation systems has been increased throughout the years. Conventional ballasted tracks have been widely used in many countries around the world. Ballast material is the basic element in ballasted ...
Pedestrian crashes at priority-controlled junctions, roundabouts, and signalized junctions: The UK case study
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Objectives: Over half of pedestrians killed and seriously injured in Great Britain in 2015 were involved in crashes at junctions. This study investigates the nature of these crashes. Methods: A study was conducted into ...
