Abstract
We especially analyze the behavior of vehicle stops under the countdowntype traffic signals with the display of remaining green time. We accomplished it by analyzing the data surveyed in China, which include eight different intersections in both winter and summer. By using a logistic model, this paper established a driver decision model at the signalized intersections with the countdown display. According to the results, it is possible to enhance the tendency of vehicles stopping by the count display and surveillance camera in both winter and summer, however, the influence of count display on the behavior of vehicle stop is higher than that of surveillance camera in winter. Therefore, it can be indicated that the countdown-type traffic signals have the characteristics of vehicles stopping under the intersection conditions that drivers can recognize the countdown display from 90-meters upstream at intersections, several severe regulation of red light running with video camera and without all-red interval.
