Understanding Driver Behavior at Intersection for Mixed Traffic Conditions Using Questionnaire Survey

Intersection is a critical location for drivers due to the increase in a number of accidents at conflict points. Besides instrumental error and defective road design, driver behavior is the major cause of such crashes. Driving comprises of the various driving tasks which govern the driver behavior. This study attempted to assess the driver’s decision-making behavior at intersections. A questionnaire survey of 770 drivers was conducted in Jaipur city to understand the driver’s behavior and tasks at the intersections. The questionnaire dealt with driver’s behavior at the signal, dilemma zone analysis, and driver comprehension about the signage. Based on the analysis, it was found that factors like education, age, gender, driving experience, frequency, and income level influence the driver behavior at the intersection. Standard statistical tests were used to analyze the association of driver demographic characteristics with the driver behavior at intersections. Understanding the Indian driver behavior at intersection can aid the development of a better design to accommodate driver expectations while navigating an intersection in mixed traffic condition.
