Abstract:
Due to rapid increase in the vehicle volumes and pedestrian volumes, pedestrian-vehicle conflicts has increased manifolds in last few decades. For enhancing the pedestrian safety and for providing necessary infrastructure, an in depth analysis of pedestrian-vehicle interaction is needed. Traffic research on roadways has predominantly been on vehicles and convenience of pedestrian is often second while designing roadways. One of the major reasons is the complexity involved in modelling pedestrian behaviour. Complexity arises from multiple parameters which affect the pedestrian crossing behaviour and are very difficult to identify. During a journey, the pedestrian needs to perform manoeuvres, detect obstacles, and make decisions. An error in these skills or physical limitations of the pedestrian may lead to serious injuries or death as the pedestrian interacts with vehicles. The gravity of the problem is relatively more intense on L-Turns of intersections which are usually open for traffic all time.
The objectives of this research were to analyse the pedestrian-vehicle interaction for L-Turns of the Sanat Nagar bye-pass intersection and Hyderpora bye-pass intersection under mixed traffic conditions, to determine the conditions in which the occurrence of conflicts between left turning vehicles and pedestrians on L- Turns has the maximum probability, to study the safety level of L-Turns of Sanat Nagar bye-pass intersection and Hyderpora bye-pass intersection under mixed traffic conditions.
