Evaluation of Pedestrian Behavior at Level Crossings in Urban Areas
From the aspect of traffic safety, level crossings (LC) are areas with increased risk for severe accidents. Intentional or unintentional risky behaviour of level crossing users is the main cause for all accidents. On Croatian Railways network of 2, 605 km there is a 1, 520 LCs. Approximately 45% of Croatian LCs lie within urban environments, where safety is a particular problem. The main objective of this study is to determine the reasons for illegal pedestrian crossing over LC. General behavior characteristics of nonmotirized LC users will be studied through a comprehensive review of the research literature. Survey and video surveillance will be used for evaluation of pedestrian behavior. Survey among pedestrians will be conducted on characteristic LCs located in urban part of the City of Zagreb in Croatia. Detailed study of pedestrians behavior will be done using video surveillance mounted in the area of studied LCs. Survey and video recording results will provide identification of necessary measures for accident prevention for studied LCs. Results will be compared with similar international studies. Results could serve as a good basis for further studies of nonmotorized LC users behavior and their correlation and causality with traffic safety on LCs.
