What is Decision-making processes underlying pedestrian behaviours at signalised crossing: Part 1. The first to step off the kerb about?

Human beings have to make numerous decisions every day, and these decisions might be biased and influenced by different personal, social and/or environmental variables. Pedestrians are ideal subjects for the study of decision-making, due to the inter-individual variation in risk taking. Many studies have attempted to understand which environmental factors (light colour, waiting times, etc.) influence the number of times pedestrians broke the rules at road-crossings, very few focused on the decision-making process of pedestrians according to the different conditions of these variables, that is to say their perception and interpretation of the information they receive. This study used survival analyses to highlight the decision-making process of pedestrians crossing the road at signalized crossings in France and in Japan. For both light colours, we decided to carry out separate analyses for the first pedestrian to step off the kerb and other individuals following him/her, as the decisions underlying the departure of a first individual and those of the followers are different, and the departure of the first pedestrians strongly influences the decisions of other individuals. We showed
