Ensuring traffic safety is one of the elements of transport policy, it is also directly related to state security – it is a permanent obligation of the state administration to take measures to eliminate the causes of traffic incidents resulting in the loss of life or health of road users and other negative consequences of such accidents. The pedestrian, is particularly vulnerable to loss of life or health as a result of a traffic incident.
The main purpose of the article was to identify and establish relationships between variables that significantly determine pedestrian safety at pedestrian crossings. The article takes into account historical data on traffic accidents involving pedestrians in a specific area (analysis), but enriches it with additional information on the specifics of specific pedestrian crossings and identifies relationships between selected variables. A critical analysis of the literature was also carried out. The results of the study are discussed in the last section of the paper, both quantitative and qualitative.
Material and methods
The article takes into account historical data on traffic accidents involving pedestrians in a specific area (analysis), but enriches it with additional information on the specifics of specific pedestrian crossings and identifies relationships between selected variables. A critical analysis of the literature was also carried out. The results were analyzed and Spearman's correlation strengths were determined.
Results
Method of analysis, also an analysis of incidents involving pedestrians in 16 selected cities with a population size of 20,000 to 50,000. 515 pedestrian crossings were analyzed.
Conclusions
Based on the results it was described which pedestrian crossings were the safest and which were the least safe. |
