Objectives: To determine gait characteristics of community-dwelling older adults at different speeds and during a crosswalk simulation. Methods: Twenty-two older adults completed walking trials at self-selected slow, usual, and fast paces, and at a crosswalk simulation, using the GAITRite walkway. These objective measures were complemented by self-report health and mobility questionnaires. Resu...

Quantifying the effects of crosswalk length and signal timing on pedestrian walking speed is an important requirement for providing a rational safety assessment and improving existing operational policies at signalized intersections. This study investigates the effects of pedestrian green time (PG), crosswalk length and pedestrian crossing direction on pedestrian walking speed at signalized cro...

Traffic intersections are among the most dangerous parts of a blind or visually impaired person's travel. Our "Crosswatch" device [4] is a handheld (mobile phone) computer vision system for orienting visually impaired pedestrians to crosswalks, to help users avoid entering the crosswalk in the wrong direction and straying outside of it. This paper describes two new developments in the Crosswatc...

PRINCIPALS Over a million people worldwide die each year from road traffic injuries and more than 10 million sustain permanent disabilities. Many of these victims are pedestrians. The present retrospective study analyzes the severity and mortality of injuries suffered by adult pedestrians, depending on whether they used a zebra crosswalk. METHODS Our retrospective data analysis covered adult ...

Research Objective Recent statistical data of traffic accidents reveals that pedestrian fatalities are a particular priority in Europe and Japan. To realize zero-traffic accident society, the objective of this paper is to develop a driver assistance system for pedestrian collision prevention based on using a monocular camera. Methodology As the concept of the system, moving objects on and nearb...

Quantifying effects of crosswalk length and signal timing on pedestrians’ presence position and timing is an important requirement for evaluating the probability of conflict. It can be utilized to provide a rational safety assessment and improve existing operational policies at signalized intersections. This study investigates the effects of crosswalk length and pedestrian green time on the spa...

Travels within the city are done in different ways, by vehicle or on foot. Thus, inevitably, a part of the travel is always done on foot. Since intersections as traffic nodes are determinant factor in transportation network capacity, any disruption in them leads to severe reduction in network capacity. Unfortunately, pedestrian behavior has received little attention in Iran. While this is a ver...

The operational efficiency and safety of pedestrian flows at intersections is an important aspect of urban traffic. Particularly, conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles in crosswalk are one of the most influential factors for intersection safety. This paper presents a cellular automata model that simulates pedestrian and vehicle crossing behaviors at signalized intersections. Through the si...

This paper presents the calibration of a pedestrian simulation model for simulating pedestrian movements at a selected signalized crosswalk in Hong Kong. This model is able to estimate the variations of walking speed particularly under conditions with bi-directional pedestrian flows. A simulation software package, Service Model, was adopted to develop the pedestrian simulation model for the sel...

Objective: To estimate an interim five-level EuroQol five-dimensional (EQ-5D-5L) value set for Poland on the basis of the crosswalk methodology developed by the EuroQol Group. Methods: On the basis of data from 3691 respondents from six European countries, the EuroQol Group has developed a method of obtaining interim value sets for the EQ-5D-5L by means of mapping to the available three-level E...
