• Abstract:
  This final report presents the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the study conducted to model pedestrian/vehicle accidents. A group-type analysis approach for the prediction of pedestrian/vehicle accidents using pedestrian/vehicle conflicts and exposure measures is discussed in terms of statistical methodology, results of approach, and applications of techniques developed. Three- and two-accident group models were developed for two cities. The findings of this study were hampered due to the limited accident data base. Recommendations for further research are offered in order to investigate the use of other variables and the relationship between conflicts and exposure measures.
