Development of a microsimulation model for motorway roadworks with narrow lanes (2019)
Journal Article
Nassrullah, Z., & Yousif, S. (2020). Development of a microsimulation model for motorway roadworks with narrow lanes. IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, 21(4), 1536-1546. https://doi.org/10.1109/TITS.2019.2910159

This paper presents a newly developed microsimulation model for motorway roadwork sections to evaluate the efficiency of different temporary traffic management schemes (TTMSs) such as the use of narrow lanes, offside and inside lane closures. The eff... Read More about Development of a microsimulation model for motorway roadworks with narrow lanes.

Modelling drivers’ behaviour within the dilemma zone at traffic signal junctions (2018)
Thesis
Al-Mukaram, N. (in press). Modelling drivers’ behaviour within the dilemma zone at traffic signal junctions. (Thesis). University of Salford

The current study introduces a newly developed, calibrated, and validated micro-simulation model for predicting drivers’ decisions following the onset of an amber traffic light signal under the effect of the dilemma zone where a driver can neither st...

Biomimetic deployable structures (2018)
Thesis
Fenci, G. Biomimetic deployable structures. (Thesis). University of Salford

Modern architectural designs aim at creating dynamic and flexible spaces, able to adapt to the ever-changing environment by virtue of temporary and convertible structures. Biomimetics is the applied science that, through the imitation of nature, find... Read More about Biomimetic deployable structures.

Narrow lanes and their effect on drivers’ behaviour at motorway roadworks (2017)
Journal Article
Yousif, S., Nassrullah, Z., & Norgate, S. (2017). Narrow lanes and their effect on drivers’ behaviour at motorway roadworks. Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, 47, 86-100. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trf.2017.04.016

In recent years, more use of narrow lanes as a temporary traffic management scheme (TTMS) on UK motorway roadwork sections has been made. The rationale is to free up carriageway space, especially for sites with high traffic demands needing repairs. W...

Modeling shuttle-lane roadworks operated by temporary traffic signals using micro-simulation (2014)
Journal Article
Alterawi, M., & Yousif, S. (2014). Modeling shuttle-lane roadworks operated by temporary traffic signals using micro-simulation. IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, 15(5), 2159-2168. https://doi.org/10.1109/TITS.2014.2311162

This paper presents a newly developed micro-simulation model for shuttle-lane urban roadworks (which is closing one lane of a single carriageway road while leaving the other for use by both directions in an alternate one-way working) focusing on issu...

Red light running and close following behaviour at urban shuttle-lane roadworks (2014)
Journal Article
Yousif, S., Alterawi, M., & Henson, R. (2014). Red light running and close following behaviour at urban shuttle-lane roadworks. Accident analysis and prevention, 66, 147-157. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aap.2014.01.021

Roadworks (work zones) are a common feature of our urban environment. They have a considerable impact on reducing roadway capacity, causing interruptions and imposing substantial delays to road users, which in turn adds to the cost to society and adv...

Critical review of research on high-cycle fatigue behaviour of brick masonry (2013)
Journal Article

Prediction of the level of service load above which accumulative damage occurs is a key priority for the masonry arch bridge owners. Limited investigations have been undertaken previously on the high-cycle fatigue behaviour of brick masonry in order...

Effect of road narrowing on junction capacity using microsimulation (2012)
Journal Article

Traffic-calming measures have been widely used in urban areas, aiming sometimes to reduce vehicle flow rates but primarily to reduce speed and, hence, the number and severity of traffic accidents. The one-way priority working road narrowing (throttle... Read More about Effect of road narrowing on junction capacity using microsimulation.
