Energy absorption capabilities of complex thin walled structures
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Thin walled structures have been used in the area of energy absorption during an event of a crash. A lot of work has been done on tubular structures. Due to limitation of manufacturing process, complex geometries were ...
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 ...
Usage of Non-Linear Regression for Modeling the Behavior of Motor Vehicle Crash Fatality (MVF) Rate
(
IEOM Society
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Data analysis for vehicular crash counts is essential for transportation and traffic management systems (TTMS) to develop practical and innovative road safety interventions. The crash trend analysis, in particular, is the ...
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 ...
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 ...
The effectiveness of applying dynamic lane assignment at all approaches of signalized intersection
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Existing traffic control strategies at signalized intersections aim at the optimization of signal timing parameters while assuming fixed lane assignments to the movements at each approach. Such control results in the waste ...
Pedestrians' Crossing Behavior at Marked Crosswalks on Channelized Right-Turn Lanes at Intersections
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Unsignalized marked crosswalks are problematic locations from pedestrians' safety perspective. Although the priority rule at such locations is clear; pedestrians have the absolute right of way over vehicles, driver often ...
Studying critical pedestrian behavioral changes for the safety assessment at signalized crosswalks
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Pedestrian-vehicle conflicts are one of the most important safety concerns at signalized intersections especially in urban areas. Conflicting vehicles and pedestrians select their maneuvers by predicting the other user ...
Consideration of a Pedestrian Speed Change Model in the Pedestrian-Vehicle Safety Assessment of Signalized Crosswalks
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Pedestrian safety is one of the most challenging issues in the road network. Understanding the pedestrian maneuver is the key to applying countermeasures against traffic crashes. It is known that behaviors of pedestrians ...
An overview of pedestrian signal setting and implementation in the State of Qatar
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Pedestrian signal control is a main influencing factor on the Level of Service of crossing facilities and on the safety performance considering conflicts with vehicles. In signal design, pedestrian clearance time is a key ...
