Predicting Pedestrian Conflict Avoidance Behavior during School Commute Time

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this research, we adopt pedestrian’s avoidance behavior as the primary indicator of degree of danger and also use discrete choice models to predict this. Through this model, we quantitatively evaluate the dangerous in school road, develop a good understanding of microscopic mechanisms of road traffic, and finally evaluate the possible effects of traffic improvement measures through quantitative measures.
