Sustainability assessment and modeling based on supervised machine learning techniques: The case for food consumption
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Sustainability of food consumption requires the understanding of multi-dimensional environmental, economic and social impacts using a holistic and integrated sustainability assessment and modeling framework. This article ...
Modeling Traffic Flows on Urban Arterials Considering the Downstream Influence
(
SAGE Publications
, 2020 , Article)
© National Academy of Sciences: Transportation Research Board 2020. Arterials are important transportation facilities, undertaking the two functions of mobility and accessibility. In the urban area, signalized intersections ...
An assessment tool to evaluate complete streets in developing countries: The case of Qatar
(
Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
, 2018 , Article)
Complete streets refer to a simple and effective transportation policy to improve traffic safety and comfort for all users within urban areas. Car dependency is a major concern in developing countries. Endorsing complete ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Drivers� crossing behaviour between express and local lanes with soft separation: A driving simulator study
(
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. ...
The Integration of Dynamic Lane Grouping Technique and Signal Timing Optimization for Improving the Mobility of Isolated Intersections
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
Spatial variations in traffic demand degrade intersection performance that can result in the waste of time�space resources. Existing control strategies of intersections assume fixed lane for movement assignment regardless ...
