| Research Abstract |
This research did the crossing in the signalized intersection of the trunk road under the object. The velocity lowering of the crossing pedestrian by the aging is generated. In addition, gaze shortage to the right left-turning vehicle occurs. The latency of increasing right left-turning vehicle was clarified.
The collection analysis of the basic literature material was carried out. Video records in pedestrian crossing were analyzed. Also, data collection for observing crossing pedestrian, was carried out. Using the recorded investigation data, the following were clarified : Effect of the crossing pedestrian on the arrival time distribution and pedestrian effect on the crossing route choice of remainder red hour display of the signalized intersection.
The methodology was presented for carrying out the quantitative evaluation of the danger recognition of pedestrian in at-grade crossing. Three different methods were evaluated, then the effects of several factors were clarified. Also, the differences among methods and attributions were clarified. As the result, the effect of right and left turning vehicle is stronger, as degree of difficulty walking is higher. Also it was pointed out that the right recognition of travel time and risk evaluation for each route is required for utilization of elevators.
