“…Various automatic pedestrian detection technologies have been proposed to improve the efficiency of traffic signal management and avoid the need to press the button to call the traffic signal. Such technologies include the use of detectors to detect pedestrians on sidewalks and controlled crosswalks [1,[5][6][7][8].…”

“…Therefore, one of the key ways to solve problems with the performance of detectors is to direct two beams to the pedestrian waiting area [1,3,8,11]. One beam runs along the sidewalk edge, and the other runs perpendicular to the road, covering the approach area.…”

Signalized pedestrian crosswalks on urban streets are essential for ensuring the safe crossing of the roadway by pedestrians and controlling the movement of vehicles. These crosswalks allow pedestrians to cross the roadway by the set rules, providing safety and comfort to all road users. Pedestrian safety is critical to improving mobility in cities. About 15% of traffic accidents occur at signalized crosswalks. Existing traffic signal control systems are mainly aimed at road traffic, which often results in significant delays and insufficient time for pedestrians to cross. It leads to risky behavior, such as not obeying traffic rules. Current pedestrian detection systems at signalized intersections mainly consist of pedestrian controllers called “buttons”. Limitations include the inability to notify a pedestrian that he, or she has been detected and the inability to dynamically extend crossing times if pedestrians do not cross the road in time. Intelligent transport systems play an essential role in improving mobility and safety and provide innovative methods to connect pedestrians, vehicles and infrastructure. Most of the research on smart and connected technologies focuses on vehicles, but there is a need to use these technologies to study pedestrian behavior, as pedestrians are the most vulnerable participants in the transportation system. Therefore, the transport system should take into account all pedestrians and satisfy all needs. Therefore, this article aims to provide information on improving traffic signal control system at pedestrian crosswalks to make them more pedestrian-friendly without significant disruption to traffic flow. The study was carried out by modeling a pedestrian crosswalk for different combinations of pedestrians and traffic flow. This paper presents modeling results and provides recommendations for the introduction of a rational control mode at pedestrian crosswalks.

“…Some studies have analysed the influence of on-street parking on traffic performance [41,42]. On-street parking manoeuvres can often block traffic for short time causing temporary bottlenecks [43] or sometimes create start-stop traffic flow behaviour on the lanes adjacent to the parking lane [44] and can reduce the road capacity by 20-30% [45]. Some studies have also analysed the impacts of roadside bus stops, which can also disrupt the traffic flow at signalized intersections [46,47].…”

The performance of the traffic system can drastically drop when nonrecurrent congestion caused by incidents occurs. Early detection and clearing of traffic incidents will enable the mitigation of the congestion and early restoration of normal traffic conditions. The research in this paper utilized the vehicle information from the recent technological advancement in transportation systems, connected vehicles (CV), and loop-detector information for nonconnected vehicles (NCVs) and developed a novel algorithm to (1) control traffic signals for normal traffic conditions in the absence of incidents, (2) detect traffic incidents using CV/NCV information, and (3) control traffic signals during the occurrence and dissipation of incidents. All the 3 strategies were integrated into one algorithm, which runs as per the real-time traffic conditions, in the presence or absence of incidents. Space-mean speeds of the vehicles on nonincident lanes and throughput maximization criteria were taken as the indicators for the activation of specific signal timings directed at the incident-affected approach. Diverse incident scenarios were tested on a four-legged isolated intersection using the VISSIM simulation tool. Incident detection results showed a higher detection rate and lower mean detection time at higher CV penetration and higher traffic volumes, and at the incident locations nearer to the stop-line. The proposed incident-responsive signal control strategy at 40% and higher CV penetration showed better performance over EPICS adaptive signal control solution, in reducing average travel time delay and the average number of stops per vehicle.
