An intercept study of footbridge users and non-users in Malaysia

Analyzing pedestrian behavior when crossing urban roads by combining RP and SP data

“…Zebra crossing was chosen as the most favorable crossing facility for pedestrians. The findings were confirmed through further research about the effectiveness of some interventions to change the crossing behavior of footbridge non-users (Hasan, Oviedo-Trespalacios, & Napiah, 2020). Bridge height and effort required to use it were the main drivers of behavior, while the most effective intervention to promote bridge usage ended up being the installation of escalators.…”

“…When proposing infrastructure such as pedestrian bridges, the pedestrians must assume all the effort to avoid the conflict. Previous research has shown that providing an escalator would make this alternative more attractive (Hasan et al, 2020). On the other hand, signalized crossing alternatives save pedestrians the extra effort of climbing the bridge (which is not even possible if the individual has any mobility limitations) by making drivers wait for individuals to cross the road.…”

Waiting for signalized crossing or walking to footbridge/underpass? Examining the effect of weather using stated choice experiment with panel mixed random regret minimization approach

“…The results are indicative of the optimal design and planning of pedestrian facilities. Therefore, the use of footbridges and underpasses can be promoted, and traffic delays and pedestrian-vehicle conflicts at signalized crossings can be reduced (Hasan et al, 2020).…”

Relación cuantitativa entre atropellamientos y puentes peatonales en Chihuahua, México

“…Por otro lado, estudios de modelación híbrida han concluido que un factor determinante en el desuso de puentes peatonales es el tiempo adicional requerido que conlleva el utilizarlos (Márquez, 2015). Resultados similares han sido reportados en Ipoh, Malasia, y Bogotá, Colombia, donde la prisa del transeúnte y el aumento de traslado se asociaba con el desuso de estas infraestructuras (Cantillo et al, 2015;Hasan et al, 2020). En lo general se identifica la falta de uso de los puentes peatonales y la búsqueda permanente de la ruta más corta para realizar el cruce.…”
