Analysis of The Characteristics of Pedestrian Crossing Behavior Under the Influence of "Give Way to Pedestrians" Policy

In China's road transport system, pedestrians are a vulnerable group and are often injured in traffic accidents. In order to effectively reduce road traffic accidents, Xi'an City has advocated the implementation of the "vehicle transfer" policy since 2017. Based on the intermittent observation of the traffic lights on the streets of Xi'an, this paper captures more than 1500 sets of data, and compares the changes in the proportion of "traffic people" in recent years. The implementation of the "vehicle people" policy is weak, weak, and strong. In the strong three cases, the characteristic factors such as pedestrian crossing mode, waiting time, waiting ratio, and crossing speed are analyzed to analyze the influence of the "vehicle letting people" policy on the behavior of pedestrians crossing the street. The results show that the policy enforcement strength is directly proportional to the yield rate of pedestrians crossing the street, and is inversely proportional to the waiting time, the waiting ratio and the speed of crossing the street. This study can provide a theoretical basis for the implementation of the city's "car letting people" policy, which is helpful to reduce the occurrence of urban traffic accidents.
