Assessing the safety effects of removing highway mainline barrier toll plazas
Yang, Hong; Özbay, Kaan; Bartın, Bekir; Özturk, Özgür (Asce-Amer Soc Civil Engineers, 2014)Toll plazas create a number of bottlenecks on highways. They can induce motor vehicle crashes and also put workers such as toll collectors at risk. Enhancing safety at toll plazas is crucial to improving safety on tolled ... -
Development of online scalable approach for identifying secondary crashes
Yang, Hong; Özbay, Kaan; Morgul, Ender Faruk; Bartın, Bekir; Xie, Kun (Natl Acad Sciences, 2014)Secondary crashes are some of the most critical incidents occurring on highways. Such crashes can induce extra traffic delays and affect highway safety performance. Transportation agencies are interested in understanding ... -
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 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 ... -
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 ... -
Investigating motorists' behaviors in response to supplementary traffic control devices at land surveying work sites
Yang, Hong; Bartın, Bekir; Özbay, Kaan; Chien, Steven I-Jy (Taylor & Francis Inc, 2014)Objective: Since land surveyors working alongside live traffic encounter unique safety challenges there is a great need for innovative and effective traffic control devices (TCDs) that alert motorists approaching short-term ... -
Mining the characteristics of secondary crashes on highways
Yang, Hong; Bartın, Bekir; Özbay, Kaan (Asce-Amer Soc Civil Engineers, 2014)The prevention of secondary crashes is a high priority task in traffic incident management. However, the limited knowledge regarding the nature of secondary crashes largely impeded the development of established countermeasures. ... -
Use of sensor data to identify secondary crashes on freeways
Yang, Hong; Bartın, Bekir; Özbay, Kaan (Natl Acad Sciences, 2013)Nonrecurring traffic incidents, such as motor vehicle crashes, increase not only travel delays but also the risk of secondary crashes. Secondary crashes can cause additional traffic delays and reduce safety. Implementation ... -
Virtual sensors web-based real-time data collection methodology for transportation operation performance analysis
Morgül, Ender Faruk; Yang, Hong; Kürkçü, Abdullah; Özbay, Kaan; Bartın, Bekir; Kamga, Camille; Salloum, Richard (Sage Publications Inc, 2014)Recent advances in mobile networks and an increase in the number of GPS-equipped vehicles have led to exponential growth in real-time data generation. In the past decade, several online mapping and vehicle tracking services ...
