An analysis of pedestrian crossing decision behavior during interval for pedestrian signal at signalized intersection

The object of this study is to analyze the main factors influencing the pedestrian's behavior during the pedestrian interval time under different showing condition at signalized intersection, and set up the model to predict the pedestrian's behavior at the interval time. The video and questionnaire survey methods are used in the study. The videos recorded the pedestrian crossing behavior at three intersections in Chongqing, China. And the pedestrian's choice behavior of crossing intersection was investigated at the interval time under different showing conditions. Simultaneously, the intercept survey is used to complete the questionnaire through inquiring the crossing pedestrian. The theory of planned behavior(TPB) is used in designing the questionnaire, and the verification of reliability and validity of the questionnaire proves that it can reflect decision-making mechanism of pedestrian behavior. The study results indicate that the pedestrian behavior at the pedestrian interval time is mainly influenced by the attitude. Then, the Pearson chi-square test is used to analyze the pedestrian's choice factors. According to the results of analyzing, the binary Logistic model is set up to predict the pedestrian's behavior at the interval time. Copyright ©2015 by Science Press.
