  1. Lesson 4 Pedestrian and Bicycle Crash Types

  2. What is a crash? CRASH - event in which a bicyclist or ped. greets the ground, a motor vehicle, or any other solid object in a way that can result in bodily harm &/or property damage • Not a accident • Crashes are preventable

  3. Crash Avoidance Process Step 1 - Search Step 2 - Detect Step 3 - Evaluate Step 4 - Decide Step 5 - Action

  4. Pedalcyclist Fatality Data - 2002 • 1st automobile crash in 1896 • 47,000 died in traffic crashes since 1932 • 2002 - 662 were killed & 48,000 injured in traffic crashed • 2002 was 8% lower than the 723 fatalities reported in 1992 • Pedalcyclist accounted for 12% of all non-motorist traffic fatalities. Peds 86%, remaining 2% skateboarders, etc.

  5. Summarize the 1996 data Peds Data • Who more? • How fatal? • When more alcohol/drug crashes? • Time? • Where? • Lanes? • Role of intersections? • Ped at fault? • Motor vehicle at fault? • Types of ped crashes?

  6. Summarize the 1996 data Bike-Motor Vehicle Data • Where? • Who? • How fatal? • Role of alcohol? • When? • Where? • Lanes? • Bikes at fault? • Motor vehicle at fault? • Types of bike-motor crashes? • Most frequent?

  7. Pedestrian and Bicycle Crash Analysis Tool (PBCAT) The Pedestrian and Bicycle Crash Analysis Tool (PBCAT) is a crash typing software product intended to assist state and local pedestrian/ bicycle coordinators, planners and engineers with improving walking and bicycling safety through the development and analysis of a database containing details associated with crashes between motor vehicles and pedestrians or bicyclists. • http://www.walkinginfo.org/pc/pbcat.htm

  8. Design a program that specifically provides countermeasures aimed at reducing 1 common bike &/or ped crash types on the SFA Campus. Countermeasures include: nite time crashes, mid-block crashes, intersection crashes, id of hazardous, crashes based on X of day Be specific! How eval if effective? EXERCISE - Design a Countermeasure Program

  9. Using crash data from Piedmont Park answer the following Qs: Did peds &/or bikes have more crashes at intersections or midblocks? Did peds &/or bikes have more crashes in day or nite? Which type of bike crash occurred more? What time of day were there more crashes for bikes &/or peds? Most frequent location for crashes for both bikes & peds? PROVIDE COUNTERMEASURES FOR IMPROVING SAFETY. EXERCISE - Design a Countermeasure Program
