ABSTRACT
Traffic safety has always been a major issue in the world, according to statistics, 80% to 90% of accidents at intersections are caused by incorrect driving behavior, therefore in-depth research on the decision-making behavior of drivers at unsignalized mid-block crosswalks can improve traffic efficiency and reduce traffic accidents. Three parts of crosswalk characteristics, pedestrian behavior characteristics, and vehicle driving characteristics were studied and possible influencing factors were identified through field survey data. A binary logit regression was established to describe the probability of drivers’ behavior choices, and the importance of each variable on drivers’ decisions was also explored. The results show that lane width and speed have a positive effect on non-standard driving, the median, pedestrians, and larger spaces for pedestrians-vehicles will make drivers tend to drive in a standardized manner.
