Purpose This study aims to validate a model for estimating platoon delay due pedestrian crossing use in Kuwait City. Design/methodology/approach The was modified slightly the scenario used Kuwait, which presence of raised crosswalk meant that all incoming traffic would slow down automatically. Using video footage observe site, several variables were collected, and calculate delays suffered by v...

In this study, we examine the differences in pedestrian behavior at crosswalks between communicating with conventional vehicles (CVs) and automated (AVs). To analyze statistically, record pedestrian’s position (x- y-coordinates) every 0.5 s perform a hot spot analysis. A Toyota Prius (ZVW30) is used as CV AV, vehicle controlled using Wizard of Oz method. An experiment conducted on public road O...

Indigenous communities in North America have distinct colonial histories with their own story of how ancestors were able to survive the mass effort take land, resources, language, culture, and sometimes even lives. These stories been passed down orally through DNA descendants survivors via epigenetics. The Historical Loss Scale (HLS) Associated Symptoms (HLASS) are two validated scales that mea...

The research shows that over 90% of all accidents are due to human error. Automated vehicle technologies hold the promise decreasing number accidents. However, complex and usually there is a chain events leading up an accident. For example, take signalized intersection, where pedestrian enters crosswalk against red light when traffic turns green for vehicles. Vehicle A (across intersection) det...
