Pedestrian Crossings at Mid-Block Locations: A Fuzzy Logic Solution for Existing Signal Operations
The increasing number of mid-block vehicle-pedestrian crashes has led traffic engineers to consider treatments to make crosswalks safer, especially for children and seniors. One common method to resolve this problem is the installation of signalized mid-block pedestrian crossings. However, a wide variety of signalization schemes have been employed, few of which are supported by the Manual on Un...
متن کاملAnalysis of Pedestrian Level of Service for Crosswalk at Intersections for Urban Condition
It is necessary to objectively quantify how well roadways accommodate pedestrian travel. Estimation of pedestrian level of service (LOS) is the most common approach to assess quality of operations of pedestrian facilities. Intersections, by their very nature, are locations where there is considerable potential for conflict between different traffic streams and different users. At busy intersect...
متن کاملVehicle-pedestrian interaction for mixed traffic simulation
Simulation of real-world traffic scenarios is widely needed in virtual environments. Different from many previous works on simulating vehicles or pedestrians separately, our approach aims to capture the realistic process of vehicle–pedestrian interaction for mixed traffic simulation. We model a decision-making process for their interaction based on a gap acceptance judging criterion and then de...
متن کاملTraffic Signal Controller for Mixed Traffic Conditions
Fuzzy logic has been widely used to develop an adaptive traffic signal controller because it allows qualitative modelling of complex systems. However, existing research has developed Fuzzy Logic Traffic Signal Controller (FLTSC) based on non-mixed traffic conditions. These FLTSC are not appropriate to the mixed traffic conditions of developing countries where the traffic streams consist of diff...
متن کاملModelling pedestrian behaviour under emergency conditions
Movement of people forms an important component of a multi-modal transportation system. Promoting walking is an important part of the shift to more sustainable transport (OECD, 2002; Cotter and Hannan, 1999). Thus the planning and designing of amenities for efficient, comfortable and safe walking operations of pedestrian’s movements in public places such as multimodal points, shopping malls, st...
