Abstract
Pedestrian crossings have always been the most important road element as they provide a passage for pedestrians to cross the vehicle stream. A variety of pedestrian crossings are available all around the world viz. zebra crossing, underground crossing, sky bridge crossing, signalized controlled pelican crossing, and intersection crossings. Their establishment is related to the available crossing rules, vehicle volume, funds, and the choice of authority. The problem arises when the crossing facility is not selected adequately and when it is not used by pedestrians as required. This paper presents research conducted to obtain the additional vehicular delay caused due to signal rule violation by pedestrians at a signalized crossing which is helpful for the establishment of a suitable pedestrian crossing that can reduce the pedestrian-vehicular interaction and ultimately the overall delay for the vehicles can be reduced. Data is collected from two pelican crossing sites available in Chandigarh city of India as there is not any such study conducted in the past in this locality. A model is formulated and validated comparing with already existing similar models for the pedestrian rule violation and delay that occurred for the vehicular users at these sites are also compared with this model. It was found that the delay calculated using this model gives the values nearest to the actual conditions at the site.
