TURNING GAP ACCEPTANCE ON CROSSWALK: IMPACT OF DIFFERENCE ON PAVEMENT

抄録

It is very common practice for turning vehicle to share the crosswalk with pedestrian to complete their turning maneuver at signalized intersection. During this sharing it is expected that turning vehicle will yield pedestrian first. But accident data reveals that pedestrian are not yielded properly by turning vehicle at signalized intersection. This study objectives to analyze the likelihood of left and right turning vehicles accepting gaps towards pedestrian considering difference on pavement using logistic regression. Speed of turning vehicle on conflict area during accepting gap is also analyzed to address the severity of interaction occurred by accepting gap. The results show that driver on crosswalk with brick pavement shows more yielding behavior by rejecting smaller gap compared to baseline condition and red colored pavement.
