The traffic conflict between pedestrian and vehicle is a main factor that influences the intersection safety and capacity. In this paper, a conflict model that simulates the pedestrians and vehicles’ crossing behaviors when passing the pedestrian crossing area at signalized intersection is presented based on cellular automata method. Evolution rules for pedestrians, vehicles and conflicts between them are assigned. Four types of traffic conflict events and conflict areas are categorized and defined. On the basis of the simulation results, the pedestrian delay owning to traffic conflicts, the number of pedestrians’ conflicts, the conflict event and their relationships with the vehicle density as well as the pedestrian density are analyzed and discussed. This model reproduces realistic pedestrian-related traffic phenomenon effectively and can be used in more complex traffic environments at signalized intersections.
