Safe Route Mapping of Roadways Using Multiple Sourced Data
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
, 2022 , Article)
The use of systematic techniques with historical crash data and qualitative measures has long been a common practice to identify the problematic road features and develop countermeasures to mitigate the crash risk in ...
Assessing regional and global environmental footprints and value added of the largest food producers in the world
(
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 ...
Analysis of illegal pedestrian crossing behavior on a major divided arterial road
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Pedestrians’ illegal mid-block crossing increases the chances of a crash compared to crossing at marked or signalized crosswalks. Therefore, it is necessary to have an accurate understanding of this type of behavior to be ...
Well-to-wheel water footprints of conventional versus electric vehicles in the United States: A state-based comparative analysis
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Today, increasing levels of water demand become a particularly serious challenge for many countries, especially since water is an essential element for production of transportation fuels. Unfortunately, no research efforts ...
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, ...
Using the theory of planned behavior to predict the use of an upcoming public transportation service in Qatar
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Public transportation systems play a major role in accommodating public travel needs. To accommodate the need for public transportation in Qatar, a metro network is currently under construction. However, commuters have ...
Temporal variation in walking behavior: An empirical study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
This study provides a baseline for understanding the variation in walking behavior with respect to seasonal conditions in a hot weather country in the Arabian Gulf region. A busy neighborhood with different land-use patterns ...
The relationship between impact speed and the probability of pedestrian fatality during a vehicle-pedestrian crash: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Background
Pedestrians struck in motorised vehicle crashes constitute the largest group of traffic fatalities worldwide. Excessive speed is the primary contributory factor in such crashes. The relationship between estimated ...
Modeling pedestrian crossing speed profiles considering speed change behavior for the safety assessment of signalized intersections
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Pedestrian safety is one of the most challenging issues in road networks. Understanding how pedestrians maneuver across an intersection is the key to applying countermeasures against traffic crashes. It is known that the ...
