Trained children crossed more quickly, and their estimated crossing times became better aligned with actual crossing times. They crossed more promptly, missed fewer safe opportunities to cross, accepted smaller traffic ga...

The success of this conference series, PED and others show that the interest in these topics is still strongly increasing. This contribution deals with a combination of both systems: pedestrians crossing a street. In a VISSIM simulation for varying demand jam sizes of vehicles as well ...
متن کاملPrompting drivers to stop for crossing pedestrians
This study used an ABA reversal design to evaluate the effectiveness of written signs with social assistance to increase the proportion of drivers stopping for pedestrians in crosswalks. In Weeks 1 and 3, observers obtained baseline data on the proportion of drivers stopping for pedestrians at two sites. In Week 2, the observers instituted the signs with social assistance, and observed stopping...
