Child-Pedestrian Traffic Safety at Crosswalks-Literature Review

Aleksandra Deluka-Tibljas et al.

Summary: Child pedestrians account for 30% of the total number of children injured in road traffic accidents in the EU. They are particularly vulnerable due to their unique traffic behavior influenced by cognitive and physical development, sociodemographic characteristics, and environmental factors. This paper provides an overview of research on parameters affecting child safety at intersection-crosswalk conflict zones, highlighting the need for further study on the impact of distractors and COVID-19 pandemic non-mobility, as well as potential infrastructural solutions.

Child Pedestrian Safety: Study of Street-Crossing Behaviour of Primary School Children with Adult Supervision

Malik Sarmad Riaz et al.

Summary: The study found that there are many unsafe behaviors when children cross the street, with stopping at the curb before and not looking for oncoming traffic being the most common dangerous behaviors. Boys and girls only differed in their crossing behavior in terms of stopping at the curb, with girls being more likely to stop before crossing. Adults holding hands of the child resulted in safer behaviors by children.

A Method for Locational Risk Estimation of Vehicle-Children Accidents Considering Children's Travel Purposes

Kojiro Matsuo et al.

Summary: Appropriate traffic safety management is crucial for supporting, maintaining, and improving children's safe and independent mobility. The study found that the risk of ESSVAs is lower for children traveling to school compared to other purposes, with most accidents occurring on or near designated school routes.

Modeling the influence of mobile phone use distraction on pedestrian reaction times to green signals: A multilevel mixed-effects parametric survival model

Yan Liu et al.

Summary: Understanding the impact of mobile phone distraction on pedestrian behavior is crucial for safety and performance evaluations. This study found that distractions from mobile phone use significantly lengthen pedestrian reaction times, with males over 40 performing worse in road segment crosswalks with longer distraction durations. Factors such as traffic awareness levels also influence pedestrian reactions.
