“…For example, Yagil (2000) found that men are more likely to cross than women when a 'Don't Cross' signal is displayed, but found no differences in other behaviours such as looking. Observational studies of men and women when accompanying children have found no differences in pedestrian behavior (e.g., Zeedyk and Kelly 2003).…”

Objective: Pedestrian injuries are a major cause of morbidity and mortality to children, especially boys. Adults serve as pedestrian role models and provide learning opportunities to children when walking to school. The research objectives were to investigate adult pedestrian behaviour when accompanying boys and girls.Methods: Behavioural observation of 140 adult pedestrians accompanying 4 -9 year-old children was done in British residential locations. Observations took place at light-controlled crossings, speed restricted school safety zones and mid-block unmarked crossing sites.Behaviours observed included stopping at the curb, waiting at the curb, looking left and right before and during road crossing, holding hands, talking, and walking straight across. Results:In general, adults modeled safe road crossing behaviours. Adult safe behaviour scores were higher when accompanying girls than when accompanying boys. No statistically significant differences were found by child age group. The fewest safe pedestrian behaviors were observed at light-controlled crossings. Conclusions:Adult pedestrians behave differently when with boys and girls and at different types of road crossing site. Interventions aimed at reducing pedestrian injuries to children may need to take these different everyday experiences into consideration.

“…Pedestrians, who accept higher risk, have to cease their waiting time, whereas pedestrians, who are likely to lower the risk, have to extend their waiting time at pedestrian crossings. Yagil (2000) reported that pedestrian's belief, motives and situational factors can affect their crossing behavior at signal controlled crossings. Situational factors like presence of other pedestrians and their behavior towards 'Walk ' and 'Don't Walk ' signs affect the behavior of female pedestrians and traffic volume affect the behavior of male pedestrians at signalized crossings.…”

Pedestrian crossing behavior is analyzed for the provision of proper pedestrian facilities at desired locations, as well as to improve their safety while crossing the road. This paper presents the analysis of pedestrian crossing behavior from a study conducted at Roorkee city (Uttarakhand state in India). The effect of pedestrian characteristics like age, gender and that of carrying baggage and luggage as well as their crossing patterns were examined on pedestrian flow characteristics like crossing speed and waiting time. Pedestrian safety was also analyzed with respect to safety margins and gaps accepted by pedestrian in traffic stream. Crossing patterns were observed for different age group and gender.

“…Whether pedestrians were in a group or alone also had an impact. Yagil [10] found, for instance, that pedestrians were more likely to wait at an intersection if a group of pedestrians were already waiting there.…”

Abstract-Interactions between vehicles and pedestrians have always been a major problem in traffic safety. Experienced human drivers are able to analyze the environment and choose driving strategies that will help them avoid crashes. What is not yet clear, however, is how automated vehicles will interact with pedestrians. This paper proposes a new method for evaluating the safety and feasibility of the driving strategy of automated vehicles when encountering unsignalized crossings. MobilEye ® sensors installed on buses in Ann Arbor, Michigan, collected data on 2,973 valid crossing events. A stochastic interaction model was then created using a multivariate Gaussian mixture model. This model allowed us to simulate the movements of pedestrians reacting to an oncoming vehicle when approaching unsignalized crossings, and to evaluate the passing strategies of automated vehicles. A simulation was then conducted to demonstrate the evaluation procedure.
