Delay Modeling of Ped-Veh System Based on Pedestrian Crossing at Signalized Intersection

The different conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles induce traffic delay and decrease the efficiency of urban road traffic to a certain extent. Few researchers focus on the pedestrian and vehicle conflict system as whole. Based on characteristics and conflict scenes analysis of pedestrian and vehicle behaviors at isolated signalized intersections, four types of pedestrian and vehicle behavior rules are described, the ped-veh inference courses by once and twice pedestrian crossing are expatiated, then three delay models of ped-veh system are established. Finally, taking advantage of VISSIM software and using a big intersection in Beijing as example, a simulation case is calculated. Data shows that: due to twice pedestrian crossing, the system delays are 14.3% and 7.4% less than once one at a.m. and p.m. peak time separately.
