Pedestrian safety is critical as they are vulnerable on the roads. Long intersection waiting times may cause pedestrians to disregard signals and cross during red phases. Vehicle conflict requires quick reactions from both pedestrians and drivers. To address these concerns in Kolkata, India, where pedestrian accidents are increasing, data were collected from eight signalized intersection crosswalks. Of 2800 observations, 539 were involved in conflicts in the first phase and 352 in the second phase. Using survival analysis methods, the study examined response times. Parametric Accelerated Failure Time (AFT) models, particularly the Weibull AFT model, proved effective for both phases. The research highlighted significant elements such as gender, age, pace, distractions, crosswalk violation, glances, and traffic conditions that affected pedestrian response times during conflict situations. These findings can guide the development of targeted interventions to promote safer pedestrian crossing behaviors.
