A1 - IATSS Intersection Project Team, SP - 42 EP - 71 VL - 1 IS - 1 N2 - Traffic problems today involve many different elements, and their solutions require an interdisciplinary approach by all concerned. No definite method for the solution of those problems has, however, been established as yet. This study was intended to give experts representing various fields such as engineering and psychology an opportunity to make interdisciplinary observations of one particular intersection which was specifically selected for this purpose. Two teams of experts made an analysis of all the traffic phenomena involved in this particular intersection from entirely different angles, and they have brought to light to problems that make the environment for pedestrians they're uncomfortable. A survey was also conducted to find out how pedestrians viewed the problems at the intersection, and in addition, a comparison was made between the intersection in question and neighboring ones. The results of this study were used for the overall evaluation of this scramble system intersection.
