PEDESTRIAN SAFETY EVALUATION OF SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS USING SURROGATE SAFETY MEASURES

Quasi-induced Exposure Method for Pedestrian Safety at Signalized Intersections

To investigate pedestrian exposure when only pedestrian-crash data are available, the quasi-induced exposure method is used to identify the factors that contributed to pedestrian-vehicle crashes in Las Vegas from 2004 to 2008. The results show that overall crash severity, light conditions and weather conditions are potentially risky factors in pedestrian crashes, and the time of day or day of t...

Evaluation of traffic safety at un-signalized intersections using microsimulation: a utilization of proximal safety indicators

In many cases crashes at intersections account for over 50% of all urban road crashes. The need to reduce these crashes has fostered considerable research on the development and evaluation of traffic safety at intersections. This paper introduces a micro-level behavioral approach for estimating the crash potential at unsignalized intersections for different traffic conditions. To this end, prox...

Surrogate Measures of Safety

A Simulation-based Traffic Safety Evaluation of Signalized and Un-signalized Intersections

In many cases, crashes at intersections account for over 50% of all urban road accidents. The need to reduce these crashes has fostered considerable research on the development and evaluation of traffic safety at intersections. This paper introduces a micro-level behavioral method for estimating crash potential at signalized and unsignalized intersections for different traffic characteristics. ...
