ESTIMATING SPATIAL CROSSING COMPLIANCE AT PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALKS
Pedestrian spatial crossing compliance refers to the proportion of pedestrians who cross a street at designated crosswalk sections. Due to the correlation between pedestrian crossing compliance and safety, traffic engineers and planners shall provide facilities that encourage pedestrians to cross at designated locations where the degree of separation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic is greater. Crossing compliance rates can be calculated using simple mathematical equations when the total number of pedestrians using a facility and the number of pedestrians complying with the crossing location are available. However, as collection of data on pedestrian crossing location cannot be automated, it often becomes especially costly and tedious to measure spatial pedestrian compliance. Development of models for estimation of spatial pedestrian compliance rates is therefore desirable. In this study, statistical modeling of spatial crossing compliance at various types of crosswalks is performed using regression analysis.
