Abstract :

Because of its adaptability and portability, walking is a primary and sustainable means of urban transit in India. Crossing at signalized intersections with mixed traffic poses challenges for pedestrians. When crossing at a signalized junction, pedestrian latency is the biggest issue. Significant, but hard to quantify, parameter. With this in mind, the purpose of this study was to create a pedestrian delay model for crosswalks at signalized intersections. From a video survey of a standard four-arm signalized crossroads in Mumbai, India, we were able to extract the necessary model parameters. Some interesting findings emerged from the analysis of the field data, including: Some pedestrians crossed the crosswalk during the flashing red signal phase and the red phase, indicating that pedestrians adapt their crossing pace to the current traffic conditions. A novel delay model appropriate for the Indian context was established on the basis of three factors: the delay in waiting, the delay i
