Designing the crosswalks at signalized intersections aims to facilitate pedestrians' safe crossing by preventing conflicts with motorized vehicles. However, pedestrian safety remains at high risk due to the signal violations by pedestrians at the intersections in India. The present study examines the violation of pedestrians at twelve signalized intersections in India. The study results show that approximately 44.6% of pedestrians arriving during the red phase violate the signals. The violation prevalence is high in the latter half of the red-light period. With the help of a multiple linear regression model, the relationship between various explanatory variables (i.e., individual characteristics and traffic conditions) and the violation prevalence has been established. Further, the pedestrian-vehicle conflicts during signal violation have been classified based on the yielding behaviour of pedestrians and road users. The yielding behaviour of the road users is found to vary in the beginning, middle, and end of the red phase. The study utilized the conflict indicator ‘Post Encroachment Time’ (PET) to determine the proximity of conflicts during violation. The severity levels of the conflict were determined with the help of the Swedish Traffic Conflict Technique (STCT) using ‘Time to Accident’ (TA) and ‘Conflicting Speed’ (CS). A generalized ordered logit model has been utilized to identify the factors (i.e., traffic conditions, personal characteristics, and situational characteristics) that affect the severity level of pedestrian-vehicle conflicts. The results highlight the need for engineering countermeasures, education, and enforcement to deal with the non-compliance behaviour of pedestrians.

印度信号交叉口行人违规行为及相关冲突

在信号交叉口设计人行横道旨在通过防止与机动车辆发生冲突来促进行人安全过马路。然而,由于行人在印度十字路口违反信号灯,行人安全仍然面临高风险。本研究调查了印度十二个有信号灯的十字路口行人的违规行为。研究结果表明,在红色阶段到达的行人中约有 44.6% 违反了信号。红灯期后半段违规率高。借助多元线性回归模型,建立了各种解释变量(即个体特征和交通状况)与违规发生率之间的关系。更远,根据行人和道路使用者的让步行为对信号违规期间的行人车辆冲突进行了分类。发现道路使用者的让步行为在红色阶段的开始、中间和结束时有所不同。该研究利用冲突指标“侵占后时间”(PET) 来确定违规期间冲突的接近程度。冲突的严重程度是在瑞典交通冲突技术 (STCT) 的帮助下使用“事故发生时间”(TA) 和“冲突速度”(CS) 确定的。已使用广义有序 logit 模型来识别影响行人车辆冲突严重程度的因素(即交通状况、个人特征和情境特征)。结果突出了工程对策、教育、
