Graduate Class Projects
Identifying the Possibility of Wrong-way Movement Using Simulation Tools
Civil Eng Dept- Southern Illinoise University- Spring 2013
During the Computer Simulation class, two of my classmates and I decided to conduct a research project in order to identify the Possibility of Wrong-way Movement Using VISSIM Simulation Tool.
A Prototype of an Intelligent Roadside Safety System
Civil Eng Dept- Southern Illinoise University- Spring 2013
During the Intelligent Transportation System class (CE-578) with Dr. Ryan Fries, my classmates and I proposed an ITS system which communicates with road users to transfer and show information regarding objects, slopes, and roadside conditions based on the users’ needs. Our work also demonstrated the schematic integrated components of the proposed ITS system. The results of this study was presented in the Auburn University Graduate Engineering Research Showcase 2013.
Improving Safety in Access and Egress Points in Highway Construction Work Zones
Civil Eng Dept- Auburn University- Fall 2013
During the Construction Safety class, my classmates and I investigated the ways usually in-use for addressing safety issues and concerns regarding access and egress within work zones. To get the file email me.
Roadside Design Features and Their Role in Road Assessment Programs
Civil Eng Dept- Auburn University- Fall 2013
During the Geometric Design class (CIVL6530) with Prof. Turochy, I conducted a project to introduce the Road Assessment programs, (such as iRAP and usRAP) and their goals, previous and current studies. Typical data gathered during conducting these programs was identified (putting the emphasis on road features). Then, the crash severity factors for each road user were investigated and the relative risk for different types of roadside features and designs were identified.
City Growth: Case Study of Denver, Colorado
Civil Eng Dept- Auburn University- Spring 2014
During theTransportation Plannng class (CIVL 6560) with Dr. LaMondia, I studied the Denver city growth from the very begining (1858) up to now, talking about any significant changes in transportation network, plans, and land use.
Prioritizing Alabama Signalized Intersections to be Treated with Appropriate Countermeasures for Red-Light Running Crashes
Geography Dept- Auburn University- Fall 2014
In order to find which intersections have the highest priority to be treated, crash history including the number of crashes and their severity are needed. In this study, the RLR crash is identified and the process of collecting required data from Critical Analysis Reporting Environment (CARE) is explained. In the next step, GIS will be employed to map these crash locations on Alabama roadway network and to find the crashes which occurred at each intersection. The primary objective of this study is to rank the signalized intersections based on the number of RLR crashes and also based on the overall crash severity at each intersection to prioritize the intersections needed to be treated.
