| Project detail | ||
| Roadmap/Focus area(s): | Pedestrians and Bicyclists | |
| Project Description: | The goal of this research is to apply human factors techniques and methodologies to explain the behavior of why pedestrians cross at midblock locations in urban and suburban areas. Additionally, the environmental characteristics associated with different crossing behaviors will be identified. | |
| Goals: |
The key project objectives are:
(1) Identify the human factors associated with pedestrian midblock crossing behavior.
(2) Identify the environmental characteristics associated with pedestrian midblock crossing behavior.
(3) Develop a framework to identify areas associated with midblock pedestrian crossings based on observational studies.
