Estimating Pedestrian Crashes at Urban Signalized Intersections
… models are used to estimate the number of crashes using a set of explanatory variables. The highway safety community has used modeling techniques to predict vehicle-to-vehicle crashes for decades. Specifically, generalized linear models (GLMs) are commonly used because they can model …

Jaywalking Index: Visual and Socio-demographic Patterns in London
… research delves into the intricate dynamics of pedestrian safety, urban design, and behavioral analysis within the overarching framework of Vision Zero principles in London, UK. With a specific emphasis on comprehending jaywalking behavior, this study investigates the sociodemographic …

GIS-based evaluation of mid-block pedestrian crossing safety
… life. One major aspect of safety relates to pedestrian crossings, especially pedestrian crossings away from an intersection i.e. at mid-block locations. There is need to develop a program to address mid-block pedestrian crashes (MBPC) to better understand them. This thesis describes the …

Pedestrian safety at urban mid-block crossings
… result in increased crash risk. Most of these crashes are likely to result in pedestrian severe injuries or fatalities, especially when crash impact speeds are high. Despite pedestrian-orientated designs being constructed around cities, the risk exposure for pedestrian crashes continues to …

Visual Clutter Study for Pedestrian Using Large Scale Naturalistic Driving Data
<p>Some of the pedestrian crashes are due to driver’s late or difficult perception of pedestrian’s appearance. Recognition of pedestrians during driving is a complex cognitive activity. Visual clutter analysis can be used to study the factors that affect human visual search efficiency and help …

Analysis of Association Between Demographic, Socioeconomic, and Built Environment Factors and Pedestrian Safety Using Traditional and AI Approaches
Pedestrian safety is a critical concern, particularly in urbanized areas where increasing population densities and heavy reliance on motorized transportation elevate risks for vulnerable road users who travel on foot. Creating safe, walkable environments is not only a public health priority but …

Analysis of factors related to pedestrian high-crash locations
… and off-network factors influencing high pedestrian crash locations. The models are based on statistical analyses of crash data. These are illustrated using pedestrian crash data for the Las Vegas Metropolitan area, in Nevada, USA. Crash data were collected for a five year period …

Pedestrian Head Protection During Car To Pedestrian Accidents: In The Event Of Primary Impact With Vehicle And Secondary Impact With Ground
<p>Current regulations for assessing pedestrian safety use a simplified test setup that ignores many real-world factors. In particular, the level of protection is assessed using a free-motion headform impacting the vehicle's hood at a fixed angle. As such, this test setup does not capture the …

Investigation of the road safety measures around schools in Ethekwini
… extent of road traffic injuries involving child pedestrians, the risk factors for child pedestrians and the effectiveness of interventions aimed at road safety improvement. EThekwini Metro was used as a case study for investigating the magnitude of road traffic crashes involving child pedestrians …

Evaluation of safety benefits of the road cross section upgrading on the Okahandja Karibib road in Namibia
… 2011), is part of the Decade of Action. The crashes in Namibia are reviewed to determine if there are any trends on where and when they occur. The three most frequent crashes in Namibia are roll-over crashes, at 29% of all crashes, collisions at 28% of all crashes, with head-on crashes the …

Modelling freeway pedestrian crossing behaviour in Cape Town
… Cape Town has recorded an alarming increase in pedestrian activity on its freeways in recent years, with a similar trend in (fatal) freeway pedestrian crashes. Both South African and international studies have demonstrated the relevant factors that account for the choices of pedestrians to cross …

A Dataset of Vehicle and Pedestrian Trajectories from Normal Driving and Crash Events in One Year of Virginia Traffic Camera Data
… also have the potential to directly capture crashes and conflicts, providing enough information to perform reconstruction and gain insights regarding causation and remediation. Beyond crash events, traffic camera video also offers an opportunity to study normal driving. Normal driver behavior …

A Location - Allocation Model For Pedestrian Footbridge infrastructure: A Case Study on the South Africa's National Roads Agency Limited (SANRAL) Network in Gauteng
… 42.6% of these road traffic fatalities involved pedestrian. According to the National Road Safety Strategy 2016 – 2030 most pedestrian crashes are due to illegal pedestrian crossings mainly across high speed roads (highways) (Department of Transport, 2011). The research study aims to develop a …

Intelligent transport systems for South Africa: contextual investigation of the application of non-motorised transport intelligent transport measures
… where they evaluated the safety effectiveness of Pedestrian Countdown Signals (PCSs) in Charlotte (North Carolina), and Philadelphia (Pennsylvania). The study results showed that after the implementation of PCSs, pedestrian crashes decreased by 9%, total crashes decreased by 8%, and rear end …
