Title:

Analysis of Pedestrian Behavior Change with Warning of Approaching Right-Turning Vehicle at the Intersection

Accession Number:

01372752

Record Type:

Component

Abstract:

Field experiments investigated the crossing behavior of pedestrians at the crosswalk in response to an alarm informing them of an approaching right-turning vehicle. Analyses of such behaviors clearly showed that the alarm results in a large angle of head turning for elderly subjects. Also, it was found that the alarm consistently produced changes in walking speed. The coefficient of variance in walking speed for all subjects revealed that the speed change for pedestrians crossing from the right side of the vehicle was higher than that for pedestrians crossing from the left side of the vehicle, because the former pedestrians had less workload in checking for the right-turning vehicle.
