WHAT IS

PEDESTRIAN?
Speed
 Intoxication and Drug
effects/Alcohol
 Dashing
 Age
 Lack of pedestrian facilities in
roadway design and land-use
planning
Inadequate visibility of
pedestrians
Factors affecting
pedestrian demand
The nature of the
local community
Car ownership
Local land use
activities
Quality of provision
Safety and security
Count the flow of pedestrian through a junction, across a road, or
along a road section/footway
manually using manual clicker and tally marking sheet.

• Side walk
• Cross Walk
• Traffic Islands
• Pedestrian Overpass and
Underpass
• Street Corner
• Pedestrian signals
• Traffic signage
 pedestrian lanes that provide people with space to travel
within the public right-of-way that is separated from
roadway vehicles.
 Sidewalks are associated with significant reductions in
pedestrian collisions with motor vehicles.

- designed basically considering minimum time
gap required for crossing the pedestrians.

GAP EQUATION
Gs = Wsped + tc(N − 1) + ts
where,
Gs =min time gap in sec
W = width of crossing section
ts = startup time
tc =consecutive time between two pedestrian
N =no. of rows
Sped =pedestrian speed
EXAMPLE:

Calculate time gap for a platoon of 27 school children 5 in a

row, consecutive time 2 sec width of crossing section is 7.5
m and walking speed of children 9 m/s start up time 3 sec.

SOLUTION:

Given:
w=7.5m
ts= 3 sec
tc= 2 sec
Sped= 0.9m/s

Find out N, N=27/5 i.e. 6 row (5 containing 5 & 6th

containing 2) Time gap

CROSSINGS
point on a road where
pedestrians traverse
the road Pedestrian
crossings, sometimes referred
to as crosswalks,
may be found at intersections
or along road stretches.
 PEDESTRIAN
SAFETY
requires that road design and
land-use planning include
safe, accessible and
comprehensive facilities
prioritizing the needs of
pedestrians.
