Choice Behavior of the Elderly Regarding Street-Crossing Facility

الملخص EN

This study aims to understand the street-crossing-facility choice behavior of the elderly.

The footbridges were classified into three types with different levels of convenience.

On the other hand, the safety of the crosswalk was assumed to be highly related to the remaining time of pedestrian green light.

An adaptive SP survey was designed to collect choice data from individuals aged 60 years or above, and a multilevel logistic model was developed to analyze the behavior data.

The results indicated that convenience and safety exert significant influence on the facility choice behavior.

The choice behavior of the elderly toward making trade-off decision between convenience and safety was further discussed through the multilevel logistic regression analyses.
