The pedestrian flow characteristics of phase, flow ratio and QKV theory are discussed in the study. Besides, three types of pedestrian behaviors are analyzed: overtaking, lateral moving, and following. With the consideration of pedestrian speed difference, following distance, instant density, gender and difference of gender, the discriminant functions and multinomial logistic regression models are constructed. The result indicates that gender has no influence on the pedestrian behavior and the difference of gender is a significant variable only in the rush hour. The hit rates of classification and prediction are both higher than 85% in the study.
