1.1背景街区中间人行横道是行人在十字路口以外的地方的交叉点（图1）。它们通常安装在行人需求高的地区。根据控制策略和几何设计，它们可以分为以下类型：信号单级，信号两级，无信号单级和无信号两级，以及其他几种类型。人行横道类型的选择应考虑有效性和安全性，延误是衡量人行横道有效性的重要指标。这一措施对安全也很重要，因为对行人来说，更长的延误会增加不适感，并可能促使他们违反信号灯1）。在选择人行横道类型时，需要考虑车辆和行人的延误。这个问题在城市地区变得更加严重，那里的交通信号通常大量存在，并影响车辆流动模式。在这样的连接上安装人行横道，
1.1 BackgroundMidblock crosswalks are the crossing points for pedestrians present at locations other than intersections (Figure 1). They are usually installed in areas having high pedestrian demand. Based on control strategy and geometric design they can be classified into the following types: signalized single stage, signalized two stage, unsignalized single stage and unsignalized two stage, in addition to several other types. The type of midblock crosswalk required should be appropriately selected considering effectiveness and safety.Delay is an important measure of effectiveness for pedestrian crossings. This measure is also important for safety, since higher delays to pedestrians raise discomfort and might urge them to violate signals1). Both vehicle and pedestrian delays need to be considered while choosing a crosswalk type. The problem gets intensified in urban areas where traffic signals are generally present in abundance and affect the vehicle flow pattern. Installing a crosswalk on such a link where
