  • A Comparative Analysis of the Effects of Introducing Bulb-outs at Unsignalized Crosswalk on Pedestrian Behavior

    OE Kosuke, TANAKA Shinji, HIRAHARA Yudai

    JSTE Journal of Traffic Engineering   11 ( 2 )   A_118 - A_126   2025.2  [Reviewed]

    DOI CiNii Research

    Language:Japanese   Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)   Publisher:Japan Society of Traffic Engineers   Joint Work  

    <p>The majority of the fatalities in pedestrian traffic accidents in Japan occur while crossing the road, and ensuring safety while crossing is a major issue. One of the measures to address this issue is the introduction of bulb-outs. A bulb-out is a type of pedestrian crossings that shortens the crossing distance for pedestrians by widening the sidewalk to the side of the roadway. The advantages of introducing bulb-outs include the reduction of conflicting opportunities between pedestrians and vehicles. In this study, we conducted a walking experiment using a head-mounted display for three types of unsignalized pedestrian crossing facilities (standard type, two-stage type, bulb-out type), and conducted a comparative analysis of each crossing facility in terms of both pedestrian's walking behavior and awareness. The results showed that the introduction of bulb-outs at unsignalized crosswalks improved pedestrian safety and facilitation while crossing the road, and was an effective measure to show drivers the presence of pedestrians clearly.</p>

  • Study on the Applicability of RCUT intersection to Improve the Level of Service on Arterial Roads in Japan

    WATANABE Akihiro, TANAKA Shinji

    Language:Japanese   Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)   Publisher:Japan Society of Traffic Engineers   Joint Work  

    <p>The actual speed on Japan's ordinary roads is lower than the speed limit, and there is a discrepancy between the travel speeds on expressways and ordinary roads, as there are many signalized intersections on arterial roads that should provide higher traffic functions. In addition, congestion on arterial roads causes various problems, such as reduced smoothness of medium-distance travel and reduced safety on residential roads, and it is necessary to construct a road network with a functional hierarchy to improve the quality of the road network. In foreign countries, a new type of intersection called Alternative Intersections has been introduced, which is less expensive than a multi-level intersection, and has the effect of improving the smoothness and safety of intersections. This study focuses on a control method called RCUT, which is a type of Alternative Intersections, and compares and analyzes conventional and RCUT control methods using simulation to clarify the effects of reducing travel time and increasing travel speed on arterial roads by introducing RCUT in Japan as a new option for intersection improvement.</p>

  • A STUDY ON CHANGE OF RAIL USAGE FREQUENCY BASED ON HISTORICAL TICKET GATE DATA IN A STATION

    <p> It is considered that recent change of rail usage is heterogeneous by individuals. In addition, it is expected that big data provides insights that have not been perceived by existing official statistics. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to classify the changes in people’s rail usage due to coronavirus disease (COVID-19) spread in terms of the usage frequency by individuals, based on historical ticket gate data in a station at multiple time, and reveal that the changes are diverse and heterogeneous.</p><p> Patterns of changes in rail usage by individuals is revealed with focusing on 8, 037 people who are considered habitual rail usage and who were commuter regularly on weekdays at least a certain number of times in both 2018 and 2019, and using the concept of elasticity diagrams: did not change much, changed and returned, did not return. The significance of this study is visualization of these diversity and heterogeneity which are not revealed only by average change in number of users.</p>
