Query: Towards Modelling Pedestrian-Vehicle Interactions: Empirical Study on
  Urban Unsignalized Intersection   The modelling and simulation of the interaction among vehicles and
pedestrians during cross-walking is an open challenge for both research and
practical computational solutions supporting urban/traffic decision makers and
managers. The social cost of pedestrians' risky behaviour pushes the
development of a new generation of computational models integrating analytical
knowledge, data and experience about the complex dynamics occurring in
pedestrian/vehicle interactions, which are not completely understood despite
recent efforts. This paper presents the results of a significant data gathering
campaign realised at an unsignalized zebra crossing. The selected area of the
city of Milan (Italy) is characterised by a significant presence of elderly
inhabitants and pedestrian-vehicle risky interactions, testified by a high
number of accidents involving pedestrians in the past years. The results
concern the analysis of: (i) vehicular and pedestrian traffic volumes; (ii)
level of service; (iii) pedestrian-vehicle interactions, considering the impact
of ageing on crossing behaviour. Results showed that the phenomenon is
characterised by three main phases: approaching, appraising (evaluation of the
distance and speed of oncoming vehicles) and crossing. The final objective of
the research is to support the development of a microscopic agent-based tool
for simulating pedestrian behaviour at unsignalized crosswalks, focusing on the
specific needs of the elderly pedestrians.
