Pedestrian Level of Service at Intersections in Bhopal City

  Rakesh Wahane

This study aims to find out the factors influencing pedestrian level of service (PLOS) signalized intersections in Bhopal city based on pedestrian perception on safety and comfort. A stepwise multi-variable regression analysis was performed using the observed data of various types of intersection in the Bhopal city. Pedestrian questionnaire survey was conducted to collect pedestrian overall satisfaction level in terms of safety, comfort and convenience for each crossing at signalized intersection based on pedestrian’s experiences at the actual sites. Also video graphic method was used for Field survey of each crosswalk at selected five signalized intersection. A significant number of ratings were given by pedestrian for each intersection. The score given by the pedestrian were considered as the independent variables for the analysis. Pearson correlation analysis was done to identify the various significant factors influencing pedestrian level of service. The factors such as Left turning traffic, Right turning traffic, number of pedestrians, number of lanes and pedestrian delay. Pedestrian delay was one of the key performance indicators for pedestrian level of service. Pedestrian overall satisfaction level model were developed by a stepwise multivariable regression analysis using Microsoft excels.
