Abstract:
Each and every city would be enhanced with word "Smart". Various problems like traffic congestion, pollution and high accident rate are mainly due to rapid urbanization and motorization which are the major issues in achieving goal to make a city "Smart". The problem can be overcome to a great extent with optimization of signal cycle length which takes pedestrian crossing time into consideration. This paper mainly focuses on pedestrian crossing which is the most dangerous place in transport field. The behaviour of pedestrian crossing under mix traffic condition at signalized intersection is needed to be considered while optimizing signal cycle. The pedestrian clearance time affected by various pedestrian characteristics and surrounding environment under mixed traffic condition at signalized intersection is analysed for safe and efficient traffic management. This paper considers signalized intersection to develop optimization signal cycle length model in order to improve pedestrian safety and provide necessary infrastructure.
