| Résumé : |
Thise disssertation has described an investigation of the effect of pedestrians speed when using a light controolled crossing (Pelican crossing). It particularly focuses its attention upon:
*the volume of pedestrians
*harrassement of pedestrians by vehicles
Pedestrian crossing speed profiles at Pelican crossings were then compared with data on the walking apeed of pedestrians
On carrying out a literature survy, it was noticed that most articles concentrated on vehicule flow rather than pedestrian flow.
Also, that the use of light controlled crossings depends on their location and consequently the mean trafic flow and length of the crossing
It made use of this information when collecting the data so that the maximum number of readings in time available could be taken as well as gathering other information regarding pedestrians.
Factors wich might affect the walking speed of pedestrians when crossing were considered, in particular those which were readily measurable without sophisticated equipement, e.g. volume of pedestrians and harrassement by vehicles. These two factors were then analyses using various statistical methods so that conclusions could be drawn. |
