THE BASIC OBJECTIVE WAS TO IDENTIFY VARIABLES THAT ARE SIGNIFICANT TO THE PEDESTRIAN EFFECT ON VEHICLE FLOW THROUGH AT-GRADE INTERSECTIONS. DATA WERE COLLECTED AND ANALYZED TO DETERMINE IF A STATISTICAL RELATIONSHIP EXISTED BETWEEN THE SELECTED VARIABLES AND THE VEHICLE-SECONDS OF DELAY BEING CAUSED BY PEDESTRIAN-VEHICLE FRICTIONS AS A RESULT OF BOTH VEHICULAR AND PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENTS AT THE STUDY INTERSECTIONS. THE MULTIPLE-REGRESSION ANAYSIS OF THE DATA PRODUCED THREE REGRESSION MODELS THAT SHOULD GIVE ACCURATE ESTIMATES OF THE VEHICLE-SECONDS OF DELAY. THE FIRST MODEL INCLUDED THE DATA FOR ALL 6 STUDY INTERSECTIONS, 3 WITH ALL ONE-WAY STREETS INTERSECTING AND 3 WITH 1 ONE-WAY STREET AND 1 TWO-WAY STREET CONNECTING. THE SECOND MODEL WAS APPLIED TO 3 INTERSECTIONS WITH ONE-WAY STREETS INTERSECTING. THE THIRD MODEL WAS DERIVED FROM THE DATA ON 3 INTERSECTIONS WITH 2 ONE-WAY STREET LEGS AND 2 TWO-WAYS STREET LEGS. A DEFINITE STATISTICAL RELATIONSHIP WAS FOUND TO EXPLAIN THE PEDESTRIAN EFFECTS ON VEHICLE DELAY AT TYPICAL URBAN INTERSECTIONS. /AUTHOR/
