DELAYS TO PEDESTRIANS CROSSING THE ROAD AT A RANDOM POINT

摘要: While offering statutory precedence pedestrian crossings will only be used if they offer the quickest, most convenient and safest route across a carriageway. It follows that use made of depend on relative ease with which pedestrians can cross carriageway at random point extent any deviation necessary to reach formal crossing location. At low vehicle flow rates unlikely walk extra distance while high giving heavily used. is between these extremes difficulty arises in assessing potential crossings. As such represent financial investment it important locate appropriate site for benefit. The significance delay studies assessed similar information available point. A simulation model described based gap acceptance rejection. has as output, mean delay, proportion delayed greater than specified level. (Author/TRRL)
