Pedestrian Crossings at Mid-Block Locations: A Fuzzy Logic Solution for Existing Signal Operations
The increasing number of mid-block vehicle-pedestrian crashes has led traffic engineers to consider treatments to make crosswalks safer, especially for children and seniors. One common method to resolve this problem is the installation of signalized mid-block pedestrian crossings. However, a wide variety of signalization schemes have been employed, few of which are supported by the Manual on Un...
متن کاملAssessing Pedestrian Crossing Risk at Signalised Intersection
Pedestrian are most at risk when crossing a road section with a large amount of pedestrian-vehicle interaction. Thus, an understanding of the complex interaction between pedestrian behaviour, signal setting and environment is essential to assess the contribution of these factors to pedestrian accidents. The complexity of these interactions could possibly been described and explored using a powe...
متن کاملPedestrian crossing location influences injury severity in urban areas.
BACKGROUND Pedestrian incidents represent an increasing proportion of serious injuries resulting from motor vehicle collisions in Canada. However, few studies have examined the effect of pedestrian crossing location in urban areas on injury severity. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between pedestrian-motor vehicle collision injury severity and crossing location. ...
متن کاملIsland refuge
Wildlife conservation in Turkey does not get a high priority. Yet the country lies in a key location for birds migrating from Asia and Africa to Europe. Wildlife reserves exist but often have worryingly little support. So the development of Lake Kuyucuk in the Kars province of eastern Turkey as a wildlife reserve for thousands of birds of more than two hundred species, while also supporting loc...
متن کاملAnalysis of Pedestrian Road Crossing Behaviour in Urban Areas
The objective of this research is the analysis of pedestrians behaviour along entire trips in urban road networks, with focus on their interaction with the traffic and the road environment while crossing roads. For this purpose, a special field survey was designed and carried out, which involved the recording of pedestrians road crossing behaviour along entire trips in real time by means of cam...
