Abstract EN
To investigate the relationship between cyclist violation and waiting duration, the red-light running behavior of nonmotorized vehicles is examined at signalized intersections.
Violation waiting duration is collected by video cameras and it is assigned as censored and uncensored data to distinguish between normal crossing and red-light running.
A proportional hazard-based duration model is introduced, and variables revealing personal characteristics and traffic conditions are used to describe the effects of internal and external factors.
Empirical results show that the red-light running behavior of cyclist is time dependent.
Cyclist’s violating behavior represents positive duration dependence, that the longer the waiting time elapsed, the more likely cyclists would end the wait soon.
About 32% of cyclists are at high risk of violation and low waiting time to cross the intersections.
About 15% of all the cyclists are generally nonrisk takers who can obey the traffic rules after waiting for 95 seconds.
The human factors and external environment play an important role in cyclists’ violation behavior.
Minimizing the effects of unfavorable condition in traffic planning and designing may be an effective measure to enhance traffic safety.
