Traffic conflict model of pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles slow-moving shared lane
Due to the limitations imposed by the width of road red line,some urban road sections have adopted a cross-sectional form that allows for shared space between pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles.In recent years,with the significant growth of non-motorized vehicle travel such as bike-sharing,food delivery,and express delivery,the frequency of traffic conflicts has also increased rapidly on shared slow lanes,which has affected road traffic safety and road service level.Data collected from traffic surveys conducted on four pedestrian and non-motorized vehicle shared sections in Shenzhen were analyzed to identify the factors influencing traffic conflicts involving pedestrians,bicycles,and electric vehicles on shared slow lanes.Using SPSS software,a correlation analysis was conducted on the number of conflict incidents and their potential influencing factors.Through stepwise regression,the optimal set of explanatory variables was selected to construct a traffic conflict analysis model for pedestrian-non-motorized vehicle shared slow lanes.The model reveals that the number of conflict incidents on shared slow lanes is associated with traffic flow,the proportion of different traffic entities,the proportion of wrong-way traffic,and road width,among other factors.This model can be applied to analyze the level of service on pedestrian-non-motorized vehicle shared slow lanes.
