N2  - In developing countries, the safety of pedestrians is a crucial concern, especially as they  are at a higher risk of accidents. The objective of this research is to analyze the critical  gap and dilemma zone for pedestrians crossing unsignalized mid-block crosswalks in  Bangkok, Thailand, utilizing Raff's and logit methods. Data from video graphics  surveys were analyzed using multiple linear regression and binary logit models to  identify factors affecting accepted gap size and gap acceptance behavior. The findings  indicate that critical gaps and dilemma zones differ for two-lane and four-lane road  sections, and several factors such as yielding behavior, waiting time, age, and crossing  speed of pedestrians, and vehicle speed and type influence gap acceptance. The study  emphasizes the need to consider pedestrians' vulnerability and behavior to improve  safety at crosswalks in developing nations. This research contributes to the existing  literature on pedestrian safety and provides insights for policymakers and urban  planners to design safer crosswalks.
