Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2007
Traffic safety researchers have long argued that driver behavior outweighs physical elements (such as road design) as a causal factor in motor vehicle collisions. A fundamental causal component of pedestrian-vehicle collisions is also behavior: that of the driver and that of the pedestrian.

Coyotes in the Crosswalks? Fuggedaboutit!
Scientific American, 2013The article discusses the increasing adaptation of wildlife to urban environments. It is noted that a diverse range of species can been found in New York City, including white-tailed deer, red-tailed hawks, and beavers, attributing the change to pollution controls and increased green space.

This research explores the spatial distribution of pedestrian-automobile collisions in Los Angeles and analyzes the social and physical factors that affect the risk of getting involved in such collisions. More specifically, this study investigates the influence of socio-demographic, land use, density, urban form, and traffic characteristics on ...

Crosswalk patrol : Encouraging safer use of crosswalks
2017In an effort to prevent and reduce accidents that might happen within the campus of the University of British Columbia, our research was interested in what kind of interventions could be put into place to increase safe pedestrian behaviour involving the use of crosswalks.

Workshop 3: classification crosswalks
Proceedings of the 1st ACM/IEEE-CS joint conference on Digital libraries, 2001Mapping between/among classification schemes is beneficial within an organization that has a number of implicit schemes, between organizations seeking to exchange information, and in a digital library context where collections are organized by different classifications.

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2008
Primarily in response to several landmark safety studies, and as an official or unofficial policy, many agencies across the United States have elected to remove marked crosswalks at uncontrolled intersections or have shown resistance to installing them in the first place. This approach results in unacceptable pedestrian mobility restrictions, yet such

Faculty integration of the technology standards and competencies remain a concern in higher education, especially in the movement toward competency-based education and portfolio development. The “CRABwalk within the Crosswalk” occurs as both ISTE educator standards and TETC competencies are collaboratively reviewed and worked. This protocol is designed

Estimation of the Pedestrians on a Crosswalk
2006 SICE-ICASE International Joint Conference, 2006The estimation of the pedestrians on a crosswalk is a challenging job due to the occluded pedestrians and its complicated background. Here, an efficient method to estimate approximately the number of pedestrians on a crosswalk is presented. Foregrounds are extracted from an incoming image by using the constructed background, and then elaborately ...

A resilience-reliability crosswalk
2010 3rd International Symposium on Resilient Control Systems, 2010There has been strong interest in the new and emerging field called resilience engineering. This field has been quick to align itself with many existing safety disciplines, but it has also distanced itself from the field of human reliability analysis.

<p><span>Crosswalks carve out a refuge where motorists must yield to people outside the vehicle. But crosswalks are creatures not just of engineering, but of law. Although the law everywhere protects pedestrians on foot in crosswalks, that category is narrower than many likely expect.
