Contributing Factors in Pedestrians Waiting Time at Signalized Intersections Using Survival Analysis

Abstract

Recognizing elements that determine pedestrian waiting time is important when designing intersection implications in order to reduce violations and their repercussions. The goal of this study is to investigate these influencing elements. To achieve this purpose, data from 1116 pedestrians were collected at three signalized intersections with various signal types and land uses. The T-test is performed to see if there are any significant differences between sets of variables. The value of factors and the decision-making process of pedestrians are determined using Survival Analysis. Pedestrians' waiting time is affected by the type of median, arrival time, land use, and gender (according to survival analysis model). An effective median design, based on field observations and findings, could have a considerable impact on pedestrians' willingness to wait for a safe crossing during the red phase. The findings of this study will aid in improving the safety of intersections by providing a better understanding of the most vulnerable road users' behavior.
