  • Abstract:
    Pedestrian crashes are a major traffic safety concern in Florida. This project aims to improve pedestrian safety on

    Florida’s state roads by identifying crash patterns and contributing factors at both the statewide and site-specific

    level and proposing potential countermeasures to reduce pedestrian crashes. The specific project objectives include:

    (1) perform a comprehensive review of existing pedestrian safety studies; (2) identify statewide pedestrian crash

    patterns and causes; (3) identify factors contributing to pedestrian injury severity; and (4) identify and analyze

    pedestrian high crash locations at both signalized and non-signalized locations for crash causes and propose the

    potential countermeasures for these crash causes.

    A total of 6,434 pedestrian crashes that occurred on state roads during 2008-2010 were identified and analyzed.

    Police reports for these crashes were carefully reviewed to obtain additional crash details, including those from

    police descriptions and illustrative sketches. In addition, additional roadway information not available from the state

    roadway inventory such as types of crosswalks were visually identified. Both of these efforts were performed using

    two in-house web-based systems developed to facilitate police report review and data collection.

    At the statewide level, crash patterns as they relate to pedestrian, vehicle, traffic control, roadway, and environmental

    characteristics were analyzed. As pedestrian crashes are typically severe, a mixed logit model was developed to

    identify factors contributing to pedestrian injury severity at signalized and non-signalized locations. At the sitespecific level, pedestrian high crash locations were identified by identifying clusters of pedestrian crashes at both

    signalized and non-signalized locations. Both district-wide and statewide pedestrian high crash locations were

    identified. The statewide locations were further analyzed to identify location-specific crash causes and

    countermeasures.
