Abstract

The research is focused on analyses of vehicle delays caused by pedestrian crosswalks on one-way streets. The study encompassed three particular locations of unsignalized crosswalks: on the street section between intersections, in the zone of intersection impact, and in the zone of intersection itself. The study revealed that the major impact on traffic jams is observed at a distance of 50-100 m from the unsignalized crosswalk. The study analyses pedestrian behavior and waiting time at such crosswalks. It was confirmed that the pedestrians did not immediately use their priority before passing. The paper presents the change in pedestrian waiting time when crossing the roadway depending on traffic flow. Based on that data, a model was prepared and simulations of pedestrian behavior at unsignalized crosswalks were performed.

Keywords:

crosswalk, pedestrian, traffic delay, traffic flow, traffic simulation, traffic volume.
