A systematic review of proactive approach for pedestrian safety at intersections

Every human being is a pedestrian, and walking is the most traditional and often quite convenient mode of transportation. In recent years, walking has become exceptionally dangerous as it possesses risk of accidents, injuries and even fatalities. These accidents are not solely caused by vehicles but are largely due to pedestrian behavior as well. This has warranted for a comprehensive study and understanding of pedestrian behaviors. The available state of the art pertaining to pedestrian safety approach can be broadly classified into reactive, proactive and perception. In this paper a systematic review pertaining to proactive approach is performed. The review procedure consists of selection criteria, article search scheme, article selection and data processing. Several factors associated with pedestrian personal attributes and site-specific parameters are found to have significant impact on pedestrian road-crossing decisions. Pedestrian behaviors are stochastic and have more freedom for their movement. Further, each intersection has unique characteristics and might require targeted engineering and behavioral interventions. Therefore, region and area-specific understanding is required, to suggest measures to improve pedestrian safety.
