The goal of this research is to introduce the fundamentals of a game theoretic approach to model pedestrian roadway crossings, as well as road users interaction strategies in such scenarios. For this reason, the most influencing factors in users’ decision and choice of strategy are employed to develop the model. This plays a central role in building a robust micro-simulation model to simulate the trajectory, and movements, of traffic participants in roadway crossing scenarios, in which there is no traffic control and management systems to conduct the traffic and users movements. The road users’ interactions in a mixed traffic environment will become more challenging by the deployment of fully/partly automated driving systems, where the intentions and decisions of interacting agents must be predicted/detected to avoid conflict and improve the traffic efficiency.     «
