Impact of the geometric field of view on drivers’ speed perception and lateral position in driving simulators
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Driving simulators have become an effective tool in road safety research. In recent years, the validity of simulators raised debates concerning the extant to which driving in the simulator resembles driving in the reality. ...
Empirical evaluation of drivers’ start-up behavior at signalized intersection using driving simulator
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Start-up behavior at signalized intersection mainly depends on perception reaction time of drivers to the green phase. This study investigated the start-up behavior at signalized intersections by considering reaction time, ...
Introducing a multi-variate classification method: Risky driving acceptance among different heterogeneous driver sub-cultures
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Introduction: Heterogeneous driving populations with many different origins are likely to have various sub-cultures that comprise of drivers with shared driver characteristics, most likely with dissimilar traffic safety ...
Effect of ADHD traits in young drivers on self-reported deviant driving behaviours: An exploratory study in the Arab gulf region
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
IntroductionAttention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can be defined in two key traits (inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity), which can effect day-to-day capabilities such as driving performance. MethodsIn this ...
Investigating the Efficiency and Safety of Signalized Intersections Under Mixed Flow Conditions of Autonomous and Human-Driven Vehicles
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
© 2020, King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals. Field experiments of autonomous driving systems have already been started in several countries around the world. However, investigations on the performance of signalized ...
Analysis of the Trajectories of Left-turning Vehicles at Signalized Intersections
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Internationally, an annual number of more than a million fatalities are caused by road traffic crashes, with particularly signalized intersections being crash prone locations within the highway system. An accumulation of ...
Nature-inspired cellular structure design for electric vehicle battery compartment: Application to crashworthiness
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
This paper discusses the potential of using lightweight nature-inspired cellular structured designs as energy absorbers in crashworthiness applications for electric vehicles (EV). As EVs are becoming popular with their ...
Study of mild steel sandwich structure energy absorption performance subjected to localized impulsive loading
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Extensive research focus had been given to sacrificial sandwich panels to mitigate the effects of blast loads. This is due to their ability to distribute the load and absorb a significant portion of the blast energy. This ...
Queue Discharge at Freeway On-Ramps Using Coordinated Operation of a Ramp Meter and an Upstream Traffic Signal
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Ramp metering is an effective way of maintaining optimum traffic conditions and mitigating congestion on freeways. Several strategies for ramp metering exist in the literature. They are typically based on the freeway traffic ...

(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
"Large crowds can be expected at famous tourist attractions, e.g., Souq Waqif, during
special events such as the FIFA World Cup 2022. A comprehensive understanding of
crowd dynamics is extremely important in order to ...
