“…This study found that the crossing speed of male pedestrians was significantly higher than female pedestrians (Table 3). This result is consistent with the previous studies' findings [13,19,26,[29][30][31][32][33][34].…”

Previous studies found that male pedestrians were significantly faster than female pedestrians while crossing the road [13,19,26,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35].

“…Furthermore, pedestrians who handle baggage cross the road slower than pedestrians who do not handle any baggage [13,26,37]. On the other hand, Peters et al did not find any impact of baggage handling on crossing speed of the pedestrian [31]. The use of a mobile phone while crossing also leads to a decrease in the crossing speed [38,39].…”

“…While observing the impact of age on crossing speed, previous studies suggest that with the increase of the age, pedestrian crossing speed tends to slow down [13,19,26,29,30,32,34,35]. Previous studies also show that the speed of the pedestrians who cross the road alone is higher than the pedestrians who cross in a group [13,31,36,37]. Furthermore, pedestrians who handle baggage cross the road slower than pedestrians who do not handle any baggage [13,26,37].…”

Analysis of Pedestrian Crossing Speed and Waiting Time at Intersections in Dhaka

2019

Pedestrian crossing speed and waiting time are critical parameters for designing traffic signals and ensuring pedestrian safety. This study aimed to carry out microscopic level research on pedestrian crossing speed and waiting time at intersections in Dhaka. To fulfill this aim, crossing-related data of 560 pedestrians were collected from three intersections in Dhaka using a videography survey method. Descriptive and statistical analyses were carried out, and then two multiple linear regression (MLR) models were developed for these two parameters by using the collected data. From the results, 1.15 m/s was found to be the design pedestrian crossing speed. Results also show that the crossing speed of pedestrians was associated with intersection control type, gender, age, crossing type, crossing group size, compliance behavior with control direction, and crossing location. In case of waiting time, findings show that pedestrians did not want to wait more than 20–30 s to cross the road. Furthermore, the waiting time of the pedestrians varied with intersection control type, gender, age, minimum gap, waiting location, and vehicle flow. Findings of this study will help to alleviate traffic safety problems by designing an effective intersection control system.
