Abstract:

The pedestrian timing at signalized intersections is studied aiming at the problems of the inconsistency of the vehicular and pedestrian timing requirements and the insufficiency of pedestrian clearance.Based on the formulae of WALK and flashing DON’T WALK(FDW)in the highway capacity manual(HCM), the relationship between pedestrian signal indications and vehicular signal indications is discussed using the theory of traffic flow.Then, methods of pedestrian timing for different cases are established, particularly the methods of the pedestrian green adjustment.Ways of pedestrian crossing are analyzed for roadways with different forms and widths of the median island.The sampling values of calculation parameters are studied, and the recommended formulae of pedestrian timing for different conditions are presented.
