Abstract:

While a number of studies have developed Safety Performance Functions (SPFs) for ; motorized traffic, there has been a very limited focus on developing SPFs for non-motorized ; traffic. Lack of exposure measures for pedestrians and bicyclists has been cited often as the ; obstacle to developing reliable SPFs. This project aimed at developing statewide SPFs for ; bicyclists and pedestrians at urban intersections. The SPFs developed can be used as a ; decision supporting tool for planners and practitioners in prioritizing areas for safety ; improvements. In order to capture crash patterns despite, a carefully designed sampling ; approach was implemented and improvements on other aspects of modeling were made. ; Specifically, we implemented structural equation modeling in the efforts to establish proxy ; measures of non-motorized exposures. SPFs for pedestrians and bicyclists at urban ; intersections, are recommended.
