Regional Well-to-Wheel Carbon, Energy, and Water Footprint Analysis of Electric Vehicles
(
Atlantis Press
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Adoption of alternative vehicle technologies such as electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) have the potential of reducing some of the environmental impacts ...
Sustainability Performance Simulation of the U.S. Urban Mobility Policies
(2018 , Conference Paper)
Heavy dependence on personal vehicle usage in the U.S. has made the transportation sector one of the greatest contributors to air pollutant emissions the associated human health concerns. The transportation mode choices ...
An integrated dynamical modeling perspective for infrastructure resilience
(
MDPI
, 2018 , Article)
© 2018 by the authors This paper considers a dynamical way to connect resilience outcomes and processes by nesting process-based approaches inside a controlled dynamical system under resource constraints. To illustrate ...
Attitudes towards road safety among pre-drivers: The case of Qatar
(
IEOM Society
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
A preliminary study involving school students aged 12-18 years attempted to test whether there is difference in attitudes towards road safety between Arab and non-Arab respondents. The sampled participants were categorized ...
Analyzing the impact of human characteristics on the comprehensibility of road traffic signs
(
IEOM Society
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Traffic safety is one of major challenges facing most communities worldwide. To improve traffic safety, regulating traffic movement through markings, signs, channelization, and others is essential. Traffic signs are used ...

(
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 ...
A Real Case-Based Study Exploring Influence of Human Age and Gender on Drivers’ Behavior and Traffic Safety
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The demand for understanding the functional relationship between changes in traffic safety level and human-related factors has increased remarkably due to a steady increase in population and traffic volume. Motor vehicle ...
Ridge penalization-based generalized linear model (GzLM) for predicting risky-driving index
(
IEOM Society
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Road traffic crashes remain one of the major causes of preventable death and injury worldwide. Human behavior is considered one of the main factors leading to such tragic losses. In this paper, we analyze the responses of ...
The performance assessment for the dMEWMA in capturing changes in simple linear profiles
(
IEOM Society
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In traditional quality control, the quality of product is typically modeled as the univariate or multivariate distribution of the quality parameters. In more recent applications, the quality is modeled using the relationship ...
