Abstract

This paper presents a model for pedestrians’ intended unsafe crossing behaviors at signalized intersections based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The model has been proposed with three factors, including attitude toward unsafe crossing behavior, subject norm, and perceived behavior control that impact on pedestrians’ unsafe crossing behavioral intention. Taking Vietnam as an example, through the reliability and validity test of 508 participants, the Structural Equation Model (SEM) of pedestrians’ unsafe behavioral intention is constructed to predict the unsafe crossing behavioral intention of pedestrians. Simultaneously, the relationship between influencing factors is obtained. The results show that perceived behavior control is the key determinant of pedestrian crossing intention, followed by attitude toward unsafe crossing behavior, and subject norms. This also shows that the proposed model can effectively explain and predict the unsafe behavioral intention of pedestrians in Vietnam’s situation.
