Effectiveness of temporary rumble strips in alerting motorists in short-term surveying work zones
Yang, Hong; Özbay, Kaan; Bartın, Bekir (Asce-Amer Soc Civil Engineers, 2015)Many surveyors who work in/near live traffic encounter unique safety challenges as they are frequently exposed to fast moving vehicles. Unlike traditional work zones, safety countermeasures at surveying sites are usually ... -
Effects of hurricanes Irene and Sandy in New Jersey: Traffic patterns and highway disruptions during evacuations
Li, Jian; Özbay, Kaan; Bartın, Bekir (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2015)This paper describes a quantitative analysis of traffic patterns and highway disruptions during Hurricane Irene and Sandy evacuations in New Jersey (NJ). This empirical study is based on multiple traffic and event data ... -
Effects of open road tolling on safety performance of freeway mainline toll plazas
Yang, Hong; Özbay, Kaan; Bartın, Bekir (National Research Council, 2012)Advances in intelligent transportation systems technologies promoted the implementation of open road tolling (ORT) on tolled freeways worldwide. This new tolling solution converts existing barrier toll booths to express ... -
Empirical evacuation response curve during hurricane Irene in Cape may county, New Jersey
Li, Jian; Özbay, Kaan; Bartın, Bekir; Iyer, Shrisan; Carnegie, Jon A. (Sage Publications Inc, 2013)Understanding evacuation response behavior is critical for public officials in deciding when to issue emergency evacuation orders for an impending hurricane. Such behavior is typically measured by an evacuation response ... -
Evaluating the resilience and recovery of public transit system using big data: Case study from New Jersey
Mudigonda, Sandeep; Özbay, Kaan; Bartın, Bekir (Taylor & Francis Inc, 2019)Analyzing resilience and vulnerability of public transit networks is extremely important in the context of natural disasters as they are essential for evacuation. In this study, the public transit systems in New Jersey ... -
Evaluation framework for mobile ticketing applications in public transit: A case study
Bartın, Bekir; Özbay, Kaan; Yang, Hong (Inst Engineering Technology-Iet, 2018)Both in the US and abroad, various transit agencies have started to implement mobile ticketing applications, which save commuters time during ticket purchase and allows them to avoid surcharges typically incurred when ... -
Extracting horizontal curvature data from GIS maps: Clustering method
Bartın, Bekir; Özbay, Kaan; Xu, Chuan (Sage Publications Inc, 2019)This paper presents the use of a clustering method for automatically estimating horizontal curvature data and crash modification factors (CMFs) using Geographic Information System (GIS) roadway shapefiles. The clustering ... -
