Frontiers in Sustainable Cities, 2020 Road transport is failing pedestrians more than other road users. For pedestrians, roads are not safe or improving: Globally pedestrian deaths have increased at nearly twice the rate of other road crash deaths (12.9% increase from 2013 to 2016, vs. a 6.6%

Numerical study of pedestrian suspension bridge with innovative composite deck
Heliyon, 2020 The increasing trend of using light and slender deck in pedestrian bridge has raised the issue of instability under pedestrian movement. The suspension pedestrian bridges are more vulnerable as lateral vibration often occurred in such type of bridges ...

Pedestrian safety management using the risk-based approach
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017 The paper presents a concept of a multi-level pedestrian safety management system. Three management levels are distinguished: strategic, tactical and operational. The basis for the proposed approach to pedestrian safety management is a risk-based method.

Left-turn phasing selection considering vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to pedestrian conflicts
Journal of Traffic and Transportation Engineering (English ed. Online), 2023 Left-turning vehicle movement at signalized intersections with permissive left-turn phases creates safety concerns due to the higher chance of conflict with opposing-through vehicles and pedestrians.

, 2002 Plan BThere is always some degree of risk involved whenever a pedestrian crosses a street. One would think that risk should be somewhat decreased when a pedestrian crosses a street in a marked crosswalk. However, that is not always the case.

Reducing Pedestrian Collisions Through Blended Outreach and Engineering [PDF]
, 2017 Many are familiar with the traditional “three Es” of safety: Engineering, education and enforcement. In the transit industry, we routinely apply these in our pursuit of forward-looking hazard management.

Surrogate safety evaluation of incorrect pedestrian detection at signalized intersections
Traffic Safety ResearchThe design and operations of signalized intersections are critical for the safety and mobility of all road users. Traditionally, video detection systems have surpassed conventional inductive loops in vehicle detection, offering advantages such as user ...

Driver compliance and pedestrian safety at zebra crossings in the Cape Coast Metropolis, Ghana
Urban, Planning and Transport Research, 2021 Vehicle-pedestrian interactions predispose pedestrians to road traffic crashes because of the importance of pedestrian trips for geographical mobility and spatial interaction which may be effectively reduced by zebra crossings.
