Analysis of Pedestrian Crossing Behaviour at Roundabout

Studies looking at roundabout safety have generally focused on drivers, overlooking the importance of the safety of vulnerable users such as pedestrians. Crosswalks at roundabouts are useful for pedestrians and increase safety. They should be placed to attract the maximum number of pedestrians, who would otherwise cross the road haphazardly. In this study, we analyse the street crossing behaviour of non-elderly and elderly pedestrians by filming their crossing behaviour with video cameras at 4 selected roundabouts. Data on pedestrian behaviour, including kerb delay and crossing conditions (legal and illegal), are then extracted and analysed.
