Summary:To study the real-time changes of pedestrian crossing speed, the paper collected a series data at three large intersections in Changchun City. Firstly, using video processing software and artificial statistical methods, instantaneous crossing speed was extracted and calculated. Then the relationship between crossing speed and dynamic density was established. In addition, the paper also analyzed the effect of pedestrian number and its position on dynamic density. At last, a new method of calculating crossing speed was proposed based on dynamic density. The results in this paper provide a better reference for pedestrian signal timing.
