Estimating critical gap is crucial for modelling pedestrian level of service at crossings. Critical gap modelling becomes more challenging in signalized crossings because the proportion of pedestrians seeking gaps during red is usually unknown. Besides, the willingness – or lack of it – to cross during red signal indication varies by pedestrian and local characteristics, which makes gap acceptance modelling even more challenging. The main objective of this study is to propose a method for estimating pedestrian critical gap at signalized crossings using Vissim. The method considers that all pedestrians seek for gaps on red, and the critical gap parameter is calibrated for each pedestrian type having delay as calibration target. The results showed MAPE values of 2% and 9% for the two studied crossings. This method was compared to three existing methods of critical gap estimation. The results showed that the proposed method yielded the best estimations of delay, followed by the HCM’s. |
