The work aims to explore the factors affecting the interaction process between right-turning vehicles and pedestrians crossing the street at urban traffic intersections. Field video shooting was adopted to analyze and count the behaviors of right-turning vehicles and pedestrians crossing the street in the interaction process, to test whether gender, age, number of peers and traffic light status had a significant impact on their interaction process. The results showed that gender had no significant effect on the interaction between right-turning vehicles and pedestrians crossing the street; age, number of peers and traffic light status had a significant impact on the interaction between right-turning vehicles and pedestrians crossing the street. As walking speed decreases due to physiological degeneration in the elderly, text or picture signs can be set up to prompt right-turning vehicles to stop for comity, so as to alleviate the problem of elderly people waiting too long; or the sequence of pedestrians crossing the street and right-turning vehicles can be dynamically planned according to the intersection traffic flow and different number of pedestrians. In addition, traffic light status and time for right-turning of vehicles can be dynamically planned according to pedestrian flow. The results of this study have important theoretical significance and practical value for improving the traffic operation at traffic intersections and the orderly passage of right-turning vehicles and pedestrians crossing the street at traffic intersections. At the same time, it can provide an important reference for the interaction between driverless right-turning vehicles and pedestrians crossing the street.
