Dirty-Face Game Analysis on Mixed Traffic Flow at Unsignalized Intersection

Abstract:

Mixed traffic flow is the basic characteristic of urban traffic. In pedestrian crosswalk without signals, there are a lot of traffic conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles crossing the intersection, which badly affects the traffic capacity and increases security risks. Through an analysis on the behavior pattern of pedestrians and vehicles crossing through the crosswalk, the paper first proposes a model based on dirty-face game to study the behavior characteristics of intersection traffic, which perfects analysis approaches to the traffic capacity of road crossing and the mixed traffic flow theory.
