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...

Pedestrian-vehicle conflicts are considered as one of the most common safety problems at signalized intersections. The threat to pedestrian safety is mainly related to the interaction with turning vehicles, especially left-turners (left-hand traffic). This paper aims at analyzing the lag/gap acceptance behavior of left-turning vehicles considering pedestrian movement at signalized crosswalks. F...

At signalized crosswalks, pedestrian clearance time is a key design parameter for ensuring safe pedestrian crossing. It is generally defined as the time required by pedestrians who enter crosswalks at the end of the green indication to complete crossing before conflicting vehicular traffic movements are released. In Japan, pedestrian green indications are followed by pedestrian flashing green (...

In the last decade, pedestrian fatalities at night, especially midblock locations, have been increasing an alarming rate. Lighting is effective countermeasure in reducing nighttime crashes. However, few studies evaluated effects of crosswalk lighting on visibility locations. There existing need to develop designs that increase visibility. Further, safety never directly compared other pedestrian...

The Magnet Recognition Program has been revised to simplify instructions, eliminate redundancy, and reduce the documentation burden for applicants. One of the major changes is that required documentation is now categorized by the 14 Forces of Magnetism to match the Scope and Standards for Nurse Administrators (American Nurses Association [ANA], 2004) through the use of a crosswalk matrix. Howev...
