Title: Pedestrian Traffic Control at Signalized Intersections
Abstract: Pedestrians are not only vulnerable to traffic accidents but also the cause of disorderly traffic flow at intersection.By summarizing the characteristics of pedestrian behavior,this paper analyzes the influencing factors on pedestrian crossing,such as their physical state,environment factor,traffic factors,intersection layout design,signal control,traffic enforcement,and etc.Based on the proposed basic principles and methods for pedestrian traffic control at intersections,the paper introduces several examples of intersection layout design and signal control.Finally,the paper points out that engineering solution alone are not sufficient.To improve pedestrian safety at intersections,it is necessary to have better traffic laws,enhanced safety education,and powerful enforcement methods.
