Description

Pedestrians possess special requirements for protecting their privacy while interacting with other users of a transport network. There exists a need in order to obtain a deeper knowledge of pedestrian traffic behaviour in between transport terminals. When different transportation terminals come closer, there will be an increased pedestrian flow caused due to change in modes used. The main aim was to analyses the general pedestrian behaviour while crossing a road and to find out different human factors which affect this behaviour. The crossing patterns were observed and also the chances of conflict with vehicles. The paper brought out the fact that the pedestrians always preferred different types of crossings. These varied with the gender and age of the pedestrians and also with luggage carrying or not. There seemed to be a greater flow of pedestrians during the peak hours and then they faced difficulty in crossing due to heavy traffic. Crosswalks are locations in which pedestrians are exposed to fewer rights of accident prevention even though they may approach the roadway and be alert of approaching traffic. Pedestrian unlawful crossing attitude is a crucial factor inside area issue of safety on the road. Thus, there is a requirement to take more steps towards bringing safety. 2023 Author(s).
