The impact of perceptual countermeasures on driving behavior in rural-urban transition road segments: A driving simulator study
(
Gioacchino Onorati Editore
, 2018 , Article)
This driving simulator study investigated the impact of perceptual countermeasures on driving behavior by creating perceptual effects via pavement markings. Two different marking schemes (i.e. Optical Circles and Optical ...
Magnetorheological damper with external excitation for more efficient control of vehicles? dynamics
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
This article presents a new concept design for magnetorheological dampers, where the excitation circuit and magnetic field are applied from outside the magnetorheological chamber. This magnetorheological damper was designed ...
Evaluating the effect of seasonal variations on walking behaviour in a hot weather country using logistic regression
(
Routledge
, 2018 , Article)
The city of Doha, Qatar experiences a hot and arid weather throughout the year. This study investigates the effect of season, type of day, and time of day on the walking behaviour of pedestrians in these conditions using ...
Motorcyclists’ Safety on Expressways: Subjective and Objective Evaluations
(
Springer Berlin Heidelberg
, 2019 , Article)
This study objectively and subjectively investigates the factors influencing motorcyclists’ safety on expressways. The relationships between motorcyclist stress while driving on expressways and potential influencing factors ...
Empirical Study on Pedestrian Signal Design and Compliance in the State of Qatar
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2019 , Article)
To ensure safe crossing manoeuvres at signalized crosswalks, the pedestrian delays and allocation of sufficient pedestrian green and flashing green times should be considered at design stage. The pedestrian signal settings ...
Modelling trends in road crash frequency in Qatar State
(
Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
The data-based regression models are widely popular in modelling the relationship between the crash frequencies and contributing factors. However, one common problem usually associated with the classical regression models ...
Throughput optimization for the Robotic Cell Problem with Controllable Processing Times
(
EDP Sciences
, 2017 , Article)
In this paper, we present a MIP-based heuristic and an effective genetic algorithm for the Robotic Cell Problem with Controllable Processing Times (RCPCPT). This problem arises in modern automated manufacturing systems and ...
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 ...
Variable message sign strategies for congestion warning on motorways - A driving simulator study
(
Gioacchino Onorati Editore
, 2018 , Article)
Congestion and stopped traffic on motorways constitute a potential safety hazard for drivers. In particular, unexpected hard congestion tails are the causes of serious rear-end crashes as they compromise the drivers' ability ...
