An analysis for safety and environmentally friendly pedestrian characteristic and crossing facilities selection, (case study: Jalan Alternatif Cibubur)

Abstract

Abstract Pedestrians can cross the road safely if suitable facilities are provided for traffic conditions. The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of pedestrians at zebra crossing facilities and choose alternative crossing facilities to confirm the safety and environmentally friendly of pedestrian and crossing facilities. Based on the analysis, men crossed faster than women, men’s speed was 1.28 m/sec and women’s speed was 1.20 m/sec. The individual crossing speed is faster than the platoon, the individual speed is 1.23 m/s and the platoon speed is 1.18 m/s. From the survey results, the pelican cross crossing is more recommended for these conditions, the travel time for pedestrians with a zebra cross is 17 seconds and after simulating the travel time with a pelican crossing 10 seconds. This scenario can reduce the travel time for pedestrians to reach their destination by 7 seconds, therefore the Pelican crossing facility can be used as an alternative facility.
