Application of Demographic Analysis to Pedestrian Safety
The Florida Department of Transportation has released a report that develops a demographics-based methodology that identifies low-income areas that possess a combination of “pre-conditions” for greater pedestrian hazard; identifies major factors associated with pedestrian crash frequency and injury severity and quantify their relationships; and produces recommendations for both engineering countermeasures and pedestrian safety education or outreach plans that will resonate with a given area’s demographics. The research may reduce pedestrian fatalities, injuries, and crashes with a given area’s demographics.
