Pedestrian risk analysis at Jl. Raya Citayam – Jl. Boulevard Raya Grand Depok City intersection leg using pedestrian risk index

Abstract

Based on data obtained from Korps Lalu Lintas Kepolisian Negara Republik Indonesia there are 4,007 traffic accidents involving pedestrian in this period (October 2017-March 2018), where 499 of them happened at intersection. The purpose of this research is to analyze the risk level of pedestrian when crossing the intersection leg (using Pedestrian Risk Index (PRI). The concept of TCT (Traffic Conflict Technique) is adopted and a designed group(s) of pedestrians are observed while crossing the streets at a zebra cross and while crossing the street without a zebra cross. Pedestrians are observed when crossing individually and in groups. Data extracted include time and distance to accidents, crossing directions, and speed. Results indicate that compared to the existence of zebra crossing and crossing direction, the number of pedestrian in group significantly determines the risk level.
