Guide to Pedestrian Analysis
Roadway designs and signal phasing
that address the safety of all road users are being implemented in many cities around the
country. As part of this, accurate methods for estimating
pedestrian volumes are needed to quantify exposure and, in turn, evaluate the benefits of
pedestrian safety measures.
The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's
NCHRP Research Report 992:
Guide to Pedestrian Analysis
presents a state-of-the-art guide
to conducting pedestrian traffic analysis on the basis of volume, safety, operations, and
quality of service. In addition to the guide, the research provides new evaluation methods
for use with the
Highway Capacity Manual.
Supplemental to the report is
NCHRP Web-Only Document 312: Enhancing Pedestrian Volume Estimation and Developing HCM Pedestrian Methodologies for Safe and Sustainable Communities; two computational engines for implementing the new and updated analysis methods
developed by the project:
Signalized Crossing Pedestrian Delay Computational Engine
and
Uncontrolled Crossing Pedestrian Delay and LOS Computational Engine; a
Video; five presentations from a peer exchange workshop:
Project Overview,
Pedestrian Volume Counting,
Pedestrian Operations Analysis,
Pedestrian Quality of Service Analysis,
Pedestrian Safety Analysis, and an
Implementation Plan.
