Abstract

As for the traffic hidden danger generated by pedestrians when they are distracted while crossing the street, this study selects the typical area of the signalized and unsignalized crosswalk collects the data of them by artificial investigation and draws the conclusions. It is concluded that on the two types of crosswalks, people on the signalized crosswalks are more easily distracted. For different age groups of pedestrians, young people are more likely to have distraction behavior than middle aged people and old people. For different behaviors of distraction, the risk of traffic accidents from high to low are generated by using mobile phones to surf the Internet, making phone calls, listening to music, and concentrating on crossing the street. The study provides data support and basis for traffic management department to improve pedestrian safety.
