Research on Pedestrian Crossing Characteristics and Crossing Facilities of University's Passageway

Abstract:

In order to adapt to the particularity of pedestrian crossing of universitys passageway, as well as relief the conflict between pedestrians and vehicles, the pedestrian crossing characteristics and crossing facilities were studied. Taking Huanghe road segment near to the main entrance of Dalian Jiaotong University as the investigation object, the pedestrian crossing and vehicle operating characteristics were investigated. By the method of mathematical statistics, the pedestrian crossing characteristics at peak and off-peak period were compared and analyzed. Taking Dalian Jiaotong University as an example, based on the particularity of universitys pedestrian crossing, the design plan of pedestrian crossing facilities was proposed. The research shows that, there is an obvious time distribution characteristic in universitys pedestrian crossing. It is necessary to considerate this characteristic and security to plan pedestrian crossing facilities.
