Network Characteristics of Pedestrian’s Conformity Violation Behavior In order to study the dynamics characteristics of the pedestrian’s conformity violation behavior, the basic indicators of the networks need to be analyzed and calculated firstly. Given the proliferation mechanism and that the dissemination research goal is to explore the evolution of group behavior of pedestrians, pedestrians quantification P450 Inhibitors of different types of individuals in the network status, and key individuals screened pedestrians group behavior, this paper intends to calculate the degree to analyze the topological characteristics of the conformity violation behavior. Degree refers to the number of nodes connected to the
other nodes. In the network, the degree of the node includes the out-degree and in-degree. Out-degree means the number of the nodes pointing to the others and in-degree means the number of other nodes pointing to node. And the average of all the nodes in the network is called the average degree of the network. (1) Average Out-Degrees in the Different Red Light Stage. Through calculating the pedestrian average out-degree in 500 different signal cycles, the pedestrian average out-degree in stage one (0–10s) is obtained. The average out-degree is 1.5, which means that the behavior of each pedestrian crossing street illegally could attract 1.5 other pedestrians following him. As the waiting time increases, the pedestrian average out-degree
gradually increases. In stage four (50s or more), the average out-degree of the pedestrian network
is 2.8, indicating that pedestrians wait longer; the waiting pedestrians are more likely to commit violation when someone else does it firstly. Figure 1 shows the correlation analysis results of the pedestrian average out-degree and the red light stage. R2 is 0.84, indicating that the two variables are highly correlated. Therefore, in order to reduce the herd groups of illegal pedestrians, pedestrian signal should be set reasonable. For example, the time of red light should not be set too long. Figure 1 Relations between the average out-degree and the red light stage. (2) Average Out-Degrees of Female and Male Pedestrians. Through the average calculation of the out-degree and in-degree of male and female illegal pedestrians, the effect of gender factor on pedestrian’s conformity behavior can be judged. It can be seen in Figures 2(a) and 2(b) that, in both in-degree and out-degree, the values of males are higher than females, which means that male pedestrians Drug_discovery are more likely to follow others than females. This result is the same as the conclusion in literature [17]. The out-degree of males is also higher than female pedestrians, indicating that male’s behavior not only is more likely to influence and attract other pedestrians, but also plays a key role in the illegal group than female pedestrians.
