本文报告了一项研究的结果，以了解行人对使用不同类型的过马路设施的偏好。一项初步的定性研究发现，人们对过境设施的看法受到安全、便利、过境时间、可达性和个人安全等方面的影响。主要的定量研究包括在英国城市繁忙道路附近的三个街区进行的既定偏好调查。参与者首先被要求指出他们在使用不同类型的交叉设施时的舒适程度。行人天桥和地下通道的评级系统低于信号交叉口。然后，参与者被要求在步行不同的额外时间以使用某些类型的过马路设施或完全避免过马路之间做出选择。使用混合logit模型对选择进行的分析发现，平均而言，参与者愿意分别额外步行2.4分钟和53分钟，以使用有信号的直道，避免使用人行天桥和地下通道。女性和年长的参与者愿意多走一段时间来避开这些设施。参加者只有在使用有信号的直道的额外时间至少为20.9分钟时，才会避免过马路。当使用条件logit模型时，步行意愿的估计值略小。该研究提供的信息对政策决策有用，包括在繁忙道路上提供的行人设施的频率和类型。(C) 2017年作者。Elsevier Ltd.出版。
This paper reports the results of a study to understand the preferences of pedestrians towards using different types of road crossing facilities. A preliminary qualitative study found that people's perceptions about crossing facilities are shaped by aspects such as safety, convenience, crossing time, accessibility, and personal security. The main quantitative study consisted of a stated preference survey implemented in three neighbourhoods in English cities near busy roads. Participants were first asked to indicate how comfortable they felt using different types of crossing facilities. Footbridges and underpasses were systematically rated below signalised crossings. Participants were then asked to choose between walking different additional times to use certain types of crossing facility or avoid crossing the road altogether. The analysis of the choices using a mixed logit model found that on average participants are willing to walk an additional 2.4 and 53 min to use a straight signalised crossing and avoid using footbridges and underpasses, respectively. Women and older participants were willing to walk longer additional times to avoid those facilities. Participants only avoid crossing the road if the additional time to use straight signalised crossings is at least 20.9 min. The estimated values for the willingness to walk were slightly smaller when using a conditional logit model. The study provides information that is useful for policy decisions about the frequency and the type of pedestrian facilities provided to cross busy roads. (C) 2017 The Authors.
