Abstract:The scope of this project involves a holistic investigation of the causes of pedestrian and bicycle crashes in the 12-county North Central Texas area. An extensive review of literature assesses the state-of-art knowledge in crash reporting and analysis, safety countermeasures, safety target setting, as well as crash databases and tools. Five years of North Central Texas crash data from TxDOT’s Crash Records Information System (CRIS) Texas Peace Officer's Crash Reports (Form CR-3) are coded according to the FHWA’s Pedestrian and Bicycle Crash Analysis Tool (PBCAT) methodology. Other existing readily available databases are considered for supporting information in order to gain a better understanding of the conditions surrounding the crashes. Geospatial statistical modelling is employed to determine the roadway elements, conditions, and actions contributing to severity crash, and high-incidence crash corridors are identified within the study area. A comprehensive list of countermeasures is assembled, including the effectiveness of each countermeasure for each evaluated crash type and crash attribute. A pilot version of an on-line application has been developed to visually present the results of this project and to communicate the safety needs in North Central Texas. This on-line application includes a database with data gathered during this project, a query builder that allows users to easily identify crash locations based on multiple parameters, as well as a list of high-incidence crash locations and their potential countermeasures.
