A STOCHASTIC APPROACH FOR VEHICLE PEDESTRIAN INTERACTION ON TRAFFIC FLOW

civil engineering

Several studies are there to understand the pedestrian movement and all the studies are based on fundamental diagrams only. These studies construct a base to characterize pedestrian flow. Several experiments have conducted to understand the pedestrian flow, some field observations have done to represent fundamental diagrams. Therefore, before going to analyze the data obtained from the observation, it is necessary to study the pedestrian flow parameters carefully. The aim of the paper is to build up the base to study the fundamental diagrams and for characterization of pedestrian. Then derive the required flow diagrams and obtain results to suit the field observations. Field survey is conducted to know the vehicle pedestrian interaction, and this field data with respect to pedestrian crossing at signalized, unsignalized or at midblock sections is aimed to be observed. And the impact of vehicle pedestrian interaction at several intersections/midblock sections is to be studied. To do this, two places are chosen inHyderabad. It is aimed to observe whether the pedestrian fundamental diagram is different in alternate locations or not. In this study it can prove that fundamental diagrams are different in different locations in Hyderabad.
