OBJECTIVE To explain a reduction in pedestrian-motor vehicle crashes in Arkhangelsk, Russia, in 2005-2010. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective ecological study. METHODS For 2005-2010, police data on pedestrian-motor vehicle crashes, traffic violations, and total motor vehicles (MVs) were combined with data on changes in national road traffic legislation and municipal road infrastructure. Negative bi...

During signal transitions at road sections and intersections, pedestrians vehicles often clash cause traffic accidents due to unclear right-of-way. To solve this problem, a vehicle safety braking distance model considering human–vehicle characteristics is established applied the designed crosswalk warning system enable cross street intelligently. The developed consider improves parking sight pe...

Computer vision-based approaches have become more common in assistance systems for the blind and visually impaired where portable devices can be used to assist users their free movement. The method pedestrian crosswalk detection with main goal facilitate crossing of road is proposed this paper. based on analyzing image column row structure. Performance kind approach relies input resolution qual...

INTRODUCTION Active transportation opportunities and infrastructure are an important component of a community's design, livability, and health. Features of the built environment influence active transportation, but objective study of the natural experiment effects of built environment improvements on active transportation is challenging. The purpose of this study was to develop and present a no...

This study used an ABA reversal design to evaluate the effectiveness of written signs with social assistance to increase the proportion of drivers stopping for pedestrians in crosswalks. In Weeks 1 and 3, observers obtained baseline data on the proportion of drivers stopping for pedestrians at two sites. In Week 2, the observers instituted the signs with social assistance, and observed stopping...

way. Vehicles entering the roundabout must yield cautiously to ones already navigating the circulatory lane(s). The far-reaching appeal of roundabouts can be specifically ascribed to their substantiated safety benefits, strengthened circulation efficiency, decreased maintenance costs, and improved aesthetic effects (1). France, leading the world with roughly 15,000 modern roundabouts, has been ...
