Road traffic crashes pose a significant challenge worldwide, necessitating increased efforts to reduce them and promote sustainable transport systems. This study aimed investigate spatiotemporal road their causes in the State of Qatar by identifying hot spots crashs exploring whether they were primiarly attributed behavioural practices and/or geometrical design roads intersections. The employed various methods, including Time-Space Cube analysis, Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR),...

One of the key solutions to address issue energy efficiency and sustainable mobility is integrate plug-in electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure photovoltaic (PV) systems. The research proposes a comprehensive EV planning analysis tool (EVI-PAT) with solar power generation for micro-scale projects deployment Charging Stations (EVCS). For evaluation proposed infrastructure, case study Qatar University (QU) campus chosen integration charging PV evaluate performance presented framework. model...

Objective Taxis have become an integrated component of Qatar's urban transportation network due to their convenience, comfort, and flexibility. Qatar has seen uptick in the demand for professional taxi drivers. Most Qatari drivers come from developing countries with poor awareness road safety; therefore, they regularly engage aberrant driving behavior, leading traffic violations crashes. For rides be safer, it is essential determine association between aberration crashes (RTCs), emphasis on...

Based on the global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions targets, governments all over world are speeding up adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). However, one key challenges in designing novel EV system is to forecast accurate time for replacement conventional and optimization charging vehicles. Designing infrastructure EVs has many impacts such as stress power network, increase traffic flow, change driving behaviors. Therefore, optimal placement stations most important issues address use In this...

Tuberculosis (TB) is major public health concern and Isoniazid Preventive Therapy (IPT) helps to prevent TB development among patients living with human immune deficiency virus (PLWHIV). However, the evidence limited especially in study area. Therefore, this aimed determine prevalence factors associated IPT users non-IPT of PLWHIV Dessie, Ethiopia. A comparative cross-sectional was employed for1 month Dessie. total 326 respondents were selected using systematic random sampling. Bivariable...

This paper proposes a pattern recognition model to develop clusters of homogenous activities for blue-collar workers in the State Qatar. The activity-based data from travel diary 1051 collected by Ministry Transportation and Communication (MoTC) Qatar was used analysis. A is applied revealed preference (RP) survey obtained workers. Raw preprocessing outliers detection filtering algorithms were at first stage analysis, consequently, an matrix developed each household. research methodology...

Road safety is a growing concern as the number of vehicles on road increase yearly. related accidents within top ten cause death globally and one for youth between ages 19-29 years old. With growth "Internet Things" artificial intelligence, there huge potential using smart technologies to support Intelligence Transportation System (ITS) framework through usage smartphone telematics devices. The aim this study two folds. first investigate feedback drivers push notifications app that will...

The effects of combining the application recently introduced blended fertilizer with Rhizobium inoculation on chickpea nodulation and productivity are not being studied in Halaba special woreda. Hence, rhizobium for production under rain-fed conditions at Special District, Southern Ethiopia is crucial. Factorial combination eight fertilizers (Control, NP, NPS, NPSB, NPSB+K, NPS+Zn, NPSB+Zn NPSB+K+Zn) without biofertilizer was used as an experimental factor laid out a randomized complete...

The impact and validity of driving simulators as an educational tool in schools the licensing process remains questioned literature. Many utilize a to assist students learn required skills faster. Few studies showed conflicting results whether utilizing simulator is effective improving quality education process. applications are not limited driver training education. It can identifying risky drivers for further improve risk perception. Driver has two key aspects: vehicle control safety...

Motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) are the eighth leading cause of death worldwide. Globally, there 1.35 million deaths with 50 injuries annually. It is important to understand and record how people drive reflect their driving behavior combat MVCs. To capture driver's reflection, many studies use self-report instruments. The validity these tools, however, debatable because respondents may not provide accurate truthful responses. Naturalistic considered a more method in capturing for reflection....
