Development of Pedestrian Utilities using Pedestrian Perception Survey

Development of a country is caused by many-inter related factor. India is a highly popular country and a developing country. Due to which there is an in-balance in the economy where vehicle density and daily activities of people keeps highly increasing compared to increase in the interconnections of different places. This leads to congestion and traffic jam at major intersections. In India pedestrian crashes majorly occurs when pedestrians crosses the road. This study explains various factors which affecting pedestrian crossing behavior. Development of pedestrian LOS measure for intersection are intended to identify the level of difficulty in crossing intersections for pedestrians. Firstly the pedestrian arrival pattern was to be analyzed. Secondly the factors affecting the pedestrian crossing speed has to be identified with respect to pedestrian and traffic characteristics. Thirdly the analysis of pedestrian behavior, crosswalk marking, crosswalk width, length and finally the solution to be given is explained in detail. This study explains a various method used for the estimation of pedestrian Level of Service at intersection and also identifies the factors that affecting pedestrian Level of Service at intersection.
