Abstract
The study of pedestrian operational performance at crosswalks is essential for enhancing pedestrian safety, streamlining traffic, and boosting overall urban mobility. Five points were selected in Hyderabad where the road intersection has a signal and a pedestrian crosswalk. The pedestrian crosswalk footage was recorded between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. and between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. The data was extracted from the same footage and used to determine the number of different vehicles and pedestrians using the crosswalk. The key parameters chosen for study are the number of pedestrians, their gender, walking speed, and the time they wait at the crossing. It is noted that the number of persons walking and their walking speeds varied in that selected time period. The purpose of the study is to determine how improvements, such as modifying traffic light timings or improving pedestrian-friendly crossings, affect the safety and comfort of walking for people. This study will help improve roadways and crossings, making them safer and more pleasant for pedestrians. This implies that roads and crossings must be planned to facilitate safe walking. Therefore, policymakers and urban planners can create safer, more accessible urban settings by designing more effective, pedestrian-friendly infrastructure informed by an understanding of pedestrian behaviour, crossing patterns, and interactions with automobiles.
