Conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians are common phenomenon at uncontrolled intersections. When conflict happens, pedestrians, or drivers will change their movements to prevent accidents, which is called conflict yielding behavior of pedestrians or drivers. The conflict yielding behavior of pedestrians has a very important impact on traffic safety at intersection crossings. This paper studied the characteristics of pedestrian conflict yielding behavior at uncontrolled intersections. First, we took the Jiansheda-Jiansheer Road intersection in Guangzhou as the observation point and procured behavior samples. Second, factors that have influence on pedestrian conflict yielding behavior are discussed. Last, a relationship model between pedestrian conflict yielding behavior and influencing factors is proposed. The analysis results show that according to the overall situation, most pedestrian choose to wait, decelerate, or keep speed. The proposed results can help engineers understand pedestrian behaviors at uncontrolled intersections and provide supports to improve pedestrian facilities and safety policies, improving pedestrian safety.
