Crossing Reliability of Electric Bike Riders at Urban Intersections

Abstract EN

This paper presents a crossing reliability model of electric bike riders at urban intersections using survival analysis approach.

Riders’ crossing behavior was collected by video cameras.

Waiting times in the red-light phase were modeled by reliability-based model that recognizes the covariate effects.

Three parametric models by the exponential, Weibull, and log-logistic distributions were proposed to analyze when and why electric bike riders cross against the red light.

The results indicate that movement information and situation factors have significant effects on riders’ crossing reliability.

The findings of this paper provide an important demonstration of method and an empirical basis to assess crossing reliability of electric bike riders at the intersection.
