Its fastest crossing, measured in three of the 28 crossings, was 0.32 seconds, giving a fastest crossing speed of 46.88 µm/sec, or ∼2800 µm/min, which we believe to be the most rapid spirochete speeds so far measured.
In addition, the average crossing speed was 1.43m/s and the gender, distraction, and group significantly affected the crossing speed.
Factors influencing pedestrian crossing speed had been studied and a design crossing speed had been determined for old and adult pedestrians at 0.95 m/s and 1.12 m/s respectively.
This paper presents analysis of three types of pedestrian speeds (entry speed, crossing speed, and exit speed) at three signalized crosswalks in the State of Qatar.
A sample of 235 pedestrian observations was used for waiting behavior, crossing speed, accepted gaps, and driver yielding behavior analysis.
Furthermore, they do not consider the bi-directional flow effects on crossing speed and time when addressing pedestrian flow at signalized crosswalks.
As a result, at locations where the speed limit was 70 km/h, pedestrians' average crossing speed was found to be 1.60 m/s and 1.73 m/s while at locations where the speed limit was 50 km/h, pedestrians' average crossing speed was found to be 1.04 m/s and 0.97 m/s.
This paper attempts to analyze the crossing behavior of pedestrians like crossing speed, compliance with signal, and pedestrian-vehicular interaction under mixed traffic conditions and to identify the influencing factors based on statistical tests.
Objective: The objectives of this research were: (a) to evaluate pedestrian crossing speed in Jordan; (b) to evaluate the effect of age, gender, distance crossed (street width), and number of pedestrians crossing as a group (group size) on pedestrian speed; and (c) to recommend pedestrian design speed values to represent pedestrians in Jordan.
