1. Road Concept - Zebra Crossing Method In India In 2008, person on foot fatalities spoke to 21% of all street traffic fatalities in Europe .Although diminishing at European dimension, in nations like Poland and Romania walker fatalities demonstrate an expanding pattern and a higher level of fatalities. As per various investigations, passerby mishaps happen most of the time at road crossing, and frequently, particularly for more seasoned people on foot, at person on foot offices like a zebra crossing. An exploration by FHWA demonstrates that person on foot intersections are not adequate to cross securely, if not coordinated with sufficient hardware. Numerous investigations can be found about walker mishaps attributes, passerby's and driver's conduct at intersections and assessment of measures upgrading person on foot intersections wellbeing . The wellbeing dimension of a street component can be evaluated in three distinct ways : Mishap recurrence or comparable, surrogate measures about street client conduct or conclusions by specialists or street clients. By relating these pointers with a blend of variables influencing crossing security, a model can be created. On account of person on foot intersections, models utilizing street mishaps are not many on account of the uncommonness of walker crashes at a given area. Assessments to evaluate a person on foot security record identified with intersections and crossing points. Other existing models characterize a

2. wellbeing related list for a nonexclusive traffic condition: crossing trouble , or dimension of administration of passerby offices , or "walk ability" of person on foot condition . There are a few preceding/after investigations that have assessed the variety of mishap recurrence or wellbeing related markers ensuing to the presentation of explicit measures. Anyway the relationship and the general significance of numerous variables and highlights are as yet hazy. NewRoadTransport displays an approach that permits evaluating the wellbeing dimension of person on foot intersections in urban territory dependent on an on location review performed utilizing impromptu information social event frames. In detail, the exploration question identifies with how to dole out a security rate to a walker crossing based on its different highlights and qualities so as to characterize a need rundown of mediations and to propose which highlights should be improved, as the particular commitment of an intersection highlight to person on foot wellbeing level has been characterized. The methodology attempted comprises in: issue definition and choice of wellbeing assessment criteria, weighting of criteria, meaning of a composite marker that communicates the security level based on intersection highlights. The proposed philosophy has been utilized for the assessment of 215 person on foot intersections in 17 European urban areas for the Pedestrian Crossing Assessment Project co-financed by FIA Foundation.
