Abstract: The unsignalized intersections are areas where right‐of‐way rules are complex, and pedestrians face an increased risk of injury. Despite extensive research on pedestrian behaviors at intersections, there is a need for comprehensive studies that systematically identify the factors influencing pedestrian–vehicle collisions at unsignalized intersections to enhance pedestrian safety in a targeted manner. This research, therefore, investigated the pedestrian crossing behavior in a simulator‐based virtual reality environment, with a total of twenty‐seven variables (e.g., gender, age, area of residence, and history of jaywalking) and 784 samples. Then, a binary logistic regression model was employed to examine the specific impacts of these factors on pedestrian–vehicle collisions from the perspective of pedestrian behaviors, individual characteristics, and external environments. Results showed that males and younger individuals are more likely to have a higher risk of pedestrian–vehicle collisions than females and middle‐aged individuals; those who have a history of jaywalking were more likely to have a higher risk of pedestrian–vehicle collisions; the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) of ENFP, ENTP, INFP, ESFP, and INTP significantly increase the risk of pedestrian–vehicle collisions; and the presence of oversize vehicles in critical areas and implementation interventions reduce the risk of pedestrian–vehicle collisions. Conversely, factors such as alcohol consumption, carrying luggage, and using mobile phones all contribute to an increased risk of pedestrian–vehicle collisions; more observations before crossing intersections and a greater number of pedestrians waiting in the same direction can both reduce the risk of pedestrian–vehicle collisions. The findings not only provide a theoretical basis for predicting pedestrian–vehicle collisions and enhancing active prevention strategies for pedestrian safety but also contribute to creating a safer driving environment for autonomous vehicles in real‐world settings within the context of China.
