Analyzing Yielding Drivers’ Dilemma Behavior toward Pedestrians at Semiurban Uncontrolled Intersections on Arterial Roads

Abstract

AbstractThis paper introduces a novel concept of dilemma zone (DZ) estimation for yielding drivers based on jaywalking pedestrian crossing behavior interference at semiurban uncontrolled intersection approaches on high-speed arterial roads. Field data ...Practical ApplicationsThe study helps identify parameters such as the longitudinal distance between crossing pedestrians and nonyielding vehicles at an unmarked crossing region (LD), pedestrian walking speed (Vped), approach vehicle speed (Vapp), and critical ...
