Abstract

Pedestrian traffic safety and high rates of pedestrians - vehicles accidents that unfortunately, in most cases leading to death or permanent and serious injury has attracted much attention. By examining the pedestrians behavioral parameters And how their behavior when crossing the street as well as features of traffic, can identified what been effective on the safety and comfort of pedestrians crossing. From past to present Analyze the crashes as the main approach to the analysis and evaluation of facilitate traffic safety situation, has been considered. But safety analysis by using crashes data there are many flaws and defects. Only relying on accident statistics, when evaluating the accident risk in a specific location or in a specific traffic situation, in many cases enough information about the definition of accident risk or reveal the underlying mechanisms insecurity is not provided. In order to deal with these issues, several conflict analysis methods have been developed. This approach is based on the idea that conflict is interactions in traffic (Unsafe situation where the collision occurs, if one or both road users, does not change your speed or direction) and are associated with the risk of accident. Swedish and Dutch traffic conflict technique of the most famous and widely used assessment methods are based on the analysis of conflicts. In this paper, this two methods to be followed individually for the researchers used.
