Study on Pedestrian Crossing Behaviour and various Factors Influencing their Perceptions at Intersections-A Review

Abstract

The paper reports research on pedestrian crossing behavior at signalized and non-signalized intersections and to analyze the various types of facilities that need to be implemented at desired locations to improve the safety of pedestrians while crossing the road. In this paper various pedestrian characteristics like age, gender, motif of the trip, baggage and luggage being carried by pedestrian and their effect on different pedestrian flow characteristics like speed of crossing and time of waiting are analyzed. Findings from this paper could help researchers and practitioners understand the behavior of pedestrians and help them to come up with better ideas to create ideal street crossing environment.
