Child pedestrian mortality and traffic volume in New Zealand.

Methods and results Child (aged <15 years) pedestrian death rates (ICD code E814-7) were calculated by using National Health Statistics Centre mortality data for 1967 to 1987. A traffic volume index, based on data from traffic counters on urban highways throughout New Zealand, and the number of registered vehicles were obtained from the Ministry of Transport.

Fuzzy Logic Concept for Safety Driven Vehicle-Pedestrian Traffic Interaction

In recent times, it has been discovered that fuzzy logic is an important tool for effective traffic control system. Research on intelligent traffic systems has revealed that the implementation of linguistic variables in fuzzy systems help in taking care of diverse possible decisions that can be taken by humans in traffic control. However, the majority of these works focus on vehicular traffic w...

MODELING BEHAVIOR IN VEHICULAR AND PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC FLOW by

This dissertation investigates the design and analysis of vehicular and pedestrian models. A type of vehicular model is developed both to offer novel contributions to vehicle behavior modeling as well as to use as a tool to learn how to create an even more complex behavioral model of pedestrian movement. First, the current state of modeling is investigated including purely behavioral studies an...
