To cross or not to cross? Review and meta-analysis of pedestrian gap acceptance decisions at midblock street crossings

چکیده
Pedestrians are vulnerable road users exposed at risk during their interaction with vehicles in uncontrolled urban areas. In this paper, a critical overview of the literature and meta-analyses were conducted on topic pedestrian gap acceptance choice midblock street crossings. Α large number studies examining personal contextual factors affecting crossing choices identified. an effort to condense research outputs, quantitative approach was adopted alongside qualitative assessments. Meta-analyses summarize impacts various predictor variables probabilities from binary logistic models locations. After application rigorous set criteria, 14 publications considered appropriate conduct beta coefficients four factors: vehicle speed (VS), size (GS), waiting time (WT) frequency attempts (FA). Statistically significant results obtained for VS, GS FA. Specifically, it determined that one unit increase incoming there is 10% decrease (OR=0.9) odds pedestrians (accepting gap) pedestrians. For temporal GS, become 7.22 times larger each attempt, as measured by FA, 16.6 WT have non-significant impact odds. To best authors' knowledge, first meta-analysis influencing crossings carried out. Study findings useful practitioners policymakers formulate management plans reduce interactions Future needed further understand determinants decision making.
