“…In particular, Kadali and Vedagiri (2019) observed that male pedestrians presented more changes of their crossing speed and Zafri et al ( 2019) that female pedestrians crossed the road slower than males. Regarding the age, several studies found out that young people between 16 and 30 years old were more likely to change their crossing speed (Kadali and Vedagiri, 2019), presenting higher crossing speeds (Forde and Daniel, 2020) in comparison to children, elderly and disabled people (Bansal et al, 2019;Zafri et al, 2019), who crossed slower.…”

During the last decades, distraction caused by mobile phones has created concerns about pedestrians' safety, especially while crossing a road. The aim of this paper is to investigate the factors that have an effect on the crossing duration of pedestrians, distracted by mobile phone use, at both signalized and unsignalized crossings. Pedestrians with mobile phones were observed during crossing the aforementioned types of crossings in Thessaloniki, Greece, while their crossing duration was further examined via the development of Bayesian regression models, one for unsignalized and one for signalized crossings. For the research purposes, 554 pedestrians were observed at unsignalized crossings and 409 at signalized ones. The most commonly observed type of distraction was talking on the mobile phone, while texting was also found to be very common. The variables, found to be associated with crossing duration, were significantly different between unsignalized and signalized crossings. Crossing duration at unsignalized crossings seemed to be affected by the experience of a potential conflict with a motorized vehicle and the presence of additional distractors, such as the carrying of an object and the presence of company. At signalized crossings, duration tended to be influenced by the age of the pedestrian and the position before crossing. Current research contributes in understanding and modeling distracted pedestrians' behavior when crossing streets.

“…In the following, we explain how the pedestrian speed of pilgrims was adjusted in the model. Forde & Daniel analyzed the walking speed of 2937 pedestrians in various age groups at un-signalized midblock crosswalks [53]. Table 2 summarizes the findings of their study.…”

Analyzing the Impact of Social Distancing on the Stoning Ritual of the Islamic Pilgrimage

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a profound impact on large-scale gatherings throughout the world. Social distancing has become one of the most common measures to restrict the spread of the novel Coronavirus. Islamic pilgrimage attracts millions of pilgrims to Saudi Arabia annually. One of the mandatory rituals of pilgrimage is the symbolic stoning of the devil. Every pilgrim is required to perform this ritual within a specified time on three days of pilgrimage. This ritual is prone to congestion due to strict spatiotemporal requirements. We propose a pedestrian simulation model for implementing social distancing in the stoning ritual. An agent-based simulation is designed to analyze the impact of inter-queue and intra-queue spacing between adjacent pilgrims on the throughput and congestion during the stoning ritual. After analyzing several combinations of intra-queue and inter-queue spacings, we conclude that 25 queues with 1.5 meters of intra-queue spacing result in an optimal combination of throughput and congestion. The Ministry of Hajj in Saudi Arabia may benefit from these findings to manage and plan pilgrimage more effectively.

“…Different from the study of the road traffic behavior spectrum, pedestrian traffic behaviors are more complex and diverse, and there are many factors that affect pedestrian traffic behavior characteristics. For example, pedestrians of different genders, ages, and social aspects act a lot on pedestrian walking speed and time, modifying their traffic behaviors [3,4]. Pedestrians using cell phones or other devices while walking would cause a decrease in attention to the surroundings and walking stability [5,6].…”

Using motion unit tracking technology, the pedestrian motion parameters were extracted from the monitoring video data at the ticket gate facilities in subway stations and the indicators of the lane change behavior were determined. The pedestrian lane change behavior spectrum of ticket gate facilities in subway stations was constructed from the three elements of types of ticket gate facilities, pedestrian flow, and lane change behavior, and the quartile method was used to determine the upper and lower thresholds of the indicators. The results showed that when the pedestrian flow was (5, 10] ped/min, the average values of displacement, distance, and cumulative side shift distance were the largest and the thresholds were the largest. When the pedestrian flow was (10, 15] ped/min, pedestrians generally adopted a faster walking speed to change lanes. With the increase of the pedestrian flow, the average value of the change in direction of the movement increased and the longitudinal distance at the gate-type ticket gate facilities was greatly affected by the pedestrian flow. The number of lane changes was generally once. The research results can provide a basis for scientifically setting up ticket gate facilities and reducing congestion risks caused by abnormal lane change behavior.
