Motorist Yield Rate Model at Unsignalized Crossings
نویسندگان
چکیده
Preliminary notes A research was conducted, for the paper, in two countries in the South-Eastern Europe region, at multiple pedestrian crossing locations in order to determine the value of motorist yield rate (MYR). The data gathered at 32 locations were used to define a mathematical model for MYR depending on location characteristics and vehicular and pedestrian traffic flow characteristics. Using regression analysis method, six versions of the model were created. The chosen model was tested at six locations and the results showed that the model matches the empirical data very well. The mathematical model for calculation of MYR could be applied in operational and planned analysis of level of service (LOS) at pedestrian crossings.

Unsignalized Pedestrian Crossings: New Zealand’s Technical Recommendation
I n New Zealand, as well as many other countries, unsignalized, marked pedestrian crossings are known as zebra crossings. Last year, the New Zealand National Roads Board (NRB) published a technical recommendation (TR1l ) that sets out standards for the installation and upgrading of zebra crossings.’ The report also includes statutory requirements and recommendations on warrants, location criter...
متن کاملCyclists in roundabouts--different design solutions.
Whether the safest roundabout design for cyclists is to separate cycle crossings or integrate cyclists with motorists is an extensively discussed issue. Studies using accident statistics indicate that a separated cycle crossing is the safest for high motor vehicle volumes. However, the results have not been satisfyingly explained. This article combines quantitative and qualitative methods in tr...

In this paper, we aim to identify the different factors that influence injury severity of highway vehicle occupants, in particular drivers, involved in a vehicle-train collision at highway-railway grade crossings. The commonly used approach to modeling vehicle occupant injury severity is the traditional ordered response model that assumes the effect of various exogenous factors on injury severi...

1 Cycling popularity has shown an increasing trend during the last decades in many cities of Europe and USA because 2 of its environmental and health benefits. However, cyclists are frequently involved in traffic accidents, especially, 3 when they interact with vehicles at unsignalized intersections. There is still lack of evidence and analysis on how 4 such interaction is performed. This paper...
