Abstract:This report is one in a series of pedestrian safety synthesis reports prepared for the Federal Highway Administration to document pedestrian safety in other countries. This report reviews recent pedestrian safety research in the Netherlands. It addresses several topics, reporting findings and providing a comprehensive list of references. Topics addressed include: (1) Pedestrian crossings and traffic calming measures - here research is reviewed on pedestrian crossings, along with other research pertaining to infrastructure changes in the form of traffic calming; (2) Children and the elderly - one study shows that children are now less likely to walk to school than in earlier times because of parental concern for their safety; measures for increasing safety of elderly pedestrians are also presented; (3) Disabled pedestrians - discussion is included concerning hardware and infrastructure that perhaps could be made in order to give better consideration to pedestrians with some kind of disability; and (4) Passenger car front-end structure - discussion is presented as to the role of the car's structural properties as it influences injury severity in a collision with a pedestrian.
