Abstract

This study focuses on sudden crossing behaviors of pedestrians in urban narrow roads, which is one of the most unsafe behaviors in the viewpoint of traffic safety, setting its final goal to develop an active safety technology to prevent pedestrian accidents. In this paper, the sudden crossing behaviors of pedestrians in narrow roads are first extracted from real world near-miss incident database and then analyzed quantitatively. Next, a mathematical model expressing sudden crossing behavior is proposed based on the analysis results and its validity is examined. The results of the examination indicate that the proposed model is useful.
