Design and Demonstration of Pedestrian Waiting Time Countdown at Pedestrian Activated Signals
In response to the increasing concerns of pedestrian compliance and safety at intersection/roadway crossings, this study intends to investigate all critical human-factors issues and intersection-design features that may collectively trigger some pedestrians to ignore the pedestrian-activated signals during intersection/roadway crossing. All identified key factors will subsequently serve as the input information for design and evaluation of a Pedestrian-Waiting-Time Countdown (PWTC) at pedestrian-activated signals.
