OBJECTIVE Signalized intersections are accident-prone areas especially for rear-end crashes due to the fact that the diversity of the braking behaviors of drivers increases during the signal change. The objective of this article is to improve knowledge of the relationship between rear-end crashes occurring at signalized intersections and a series of potential traffic risk factors classified by ...

Vehicle waiting time or stopped delay is one of the major disadvantages employing signalized intersections (SIs) in road networks. The delays occur when vehicles stop queue, to access SI, and vary from lane with intersection management (IM) protocol used. In this research line, we propose an analytical expression for estimating studying performance different IM approaches a grid network indepen...

Distracted driving existed since the invention of automobile; however, emergence cell phone and electronic devices created another source distraction that affected drivers visually, physically, cognitively, audibly. Many studies investigated factors influenced saturation flow startup lost time at a signalized intersection, but impact new distractions, such as in-vehicle entertainment systems, r...

Intersections are the bottlenecks of the urban road system because an intersection’s capacity is only a fraction of the vehicle flows that the roads connecting to the intersection can carry. The saturation flow rate, and hence the capacity, can be doubled if vehicles can cross intersections in platoons rather than one by one as they do today. Platoon formation is enabled by connected vehicle te...
