Investigation of the Effects of Leading Pedestrian Intervals and Protected Vehicular Left-turn Phasing on Pedestrian Safety
Ruben Del Rosario
Abstract:Vehicle-pedestrian collisions at signalized intersections often occur when vehicles are performing a turning movement while pedestrians are at the crosswalk. There is a need to minimize these types of collisions, given their severity and prevalence. The main objective of this study is to address this need by investigating factors and treatments (such as leading pedestrian intervals and fully protected vehicular left-turns) that may impact vehicle-pedestrian conflicts (i.e., near misses) and/or collisions at si… Show more
