In order to more accurately assess the pedestrian level of service (PLOS) of crosswalks and to more rationally design the pedestrian signal timing, a method of calculating the standard pedestrian equivalent (SPE) factors at the signalized crosswalk in China was proposed in this study by considering the differences in static and dynamic characteristics amongst pedestrians. Firstly, the pedestrians were classified into five types using the pedestrian field data collected at the 3 signalized crosswalks in Chongqing, China. Then, by considering the parameters selection of the pedestrian LOS at signalized crosswalks, the SPE method based on pedestrian delays was derived, and the calculation models of pedestrian delays were presented for different pedestrian arrival patterns. A case analysis was conducted using the methods proposed in this paper, and the results show that the SPE values for minors, young and middle-aged females, elderly males and elderly females were 1.213, 1.067, 1.229 and 1.348, respectively. In addition, the results of the in-situ application to the pedestrian signal timing at the signalized crosswalk were achieved. This research can provide reference for practice related to transportation fields such as pedestrian capacity analysis and pedestrian signal timing design.
