Human Factors Assessment of Pedestrian Roadway Crossing Behavior

Data coding

For each pedestrian crossing, multiple factors were recorded. The following subsections describe each of these factors and how data were coded.

Crossing Factors

The same crossing factors as phase 1 and phase 2 were used to classify crossing behaviors in the third data collection phase.

Dates/Times Coded

Unlike in phase 1 and phase 2, all data were collected through direct (not video recorded) observation. Data at Location 16 and Location 17 were collected on November, 21, 2012. Data at Location 18 and Location 19 were collected on December 3, 2012. Data at Location 20 were recorded on December 4, 2012. All data in phase 3 were collected midday.

Weather

Table 32 describes the weather and corresponding sunrise/sunset times for each of the days that data were coded.
