DEVELOPMENT OF A CONFLICTS ANALYSIS TECHNIQUE FOR PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS.

The study described was carried out to develop a pedestrian technique that can be used in identifying hazardous locations and specific operational deficiencies at pedestrian crossings. The technique defines 13 principal pedestrian conflicts that may occur and uses different levels of conflict severity. A conflict data form was constructed to assist in the collection of data. The applicability and feasibility of this conflict technique was tested at five crossing locations in which a total of 25 h of data were collected.
