The aim of this book is to present pedestrian injuries from a biomechanical perspective. We aim to give a detailed treatment of the physics of pedestrian impact, as well as a review of the accident databases and the relevant injury criteria used to assess pedestrian injuries. A further focus will be the effects on injury outcome of (1) pedestrian/vehicle position and velocity at impact and (2) the influence of vehicle design on injury outcome. Most of the content of this book has been published by these and other authors in various journals, but this book will provide a comprehensive treatment of the biomechanics of pedestrian impacts for the first time. It will therefore be of value to new and established researchers alike.

Physical tests were performed with a bicycle and a dummy in a controlled laboratoryenvironment to reproduce cyclist accidents. The kinematics of 13 sled tests were used toidentify the cyclist head impact location, understand the interaction between the cyclistand bicycle and to validate a mathematical model. The finite element software code LS-DYNA was used to simulate 70 cyclist andpedestrian accidents with motor vehicles with four different vehicle shapes whichsupplemented the physical testing. The study has shown that when cyclists andpedestrians were struck by any of the vehicles their whole body kinematics can bedistinguished into two phases, initially a rotation followed by a sliding action. The SportsUtility Vehicle (SUV) vehicle produced more of a rotation action rather than sliding, whereas the other vehicles produced a combination of the two. The current pedestrian legislation does not cover all head impact locations for cyclistsand therefore needs to be extended to encompass the windscreen and A-Pillar regions ofthe vehicles. The wrap around distance (WAD) for all the vehicles, apart from the SUV, should be extended to encompass a larger region. For the SUV the current WAD region isadequate in protecting cyclists and pedestrians and does not need to change. Thepredicted head impactor angle for cyclists is 40 degrees which is lower than the currentlegislative value of 65 degrees and the predicted pedestrian head impact angle is higher ata value of 80 degrees for the MPV, SM and LFC. For the SUV the proposed impactorangle increased to 100 degrees for cyclists and pedestrians. This research has demonstrated significant differences in terms of input variables andoutcomes between cyclist and pedestrian accidents involving vehicles. It has usedmathematical models to obtain injury data from a human mathematical model andphysical testing to replicate real world cyclist accident scenarios. Recommendations havebeen proposed for future legislative testing techniques for cyclists, based on existingpedestrian legislation. These recommendations to alter legislation will improve vehicledesign and make future vehicles more cyclist-friendly.

As more people walk and bike in their communities, there is a corresponding increase in the number of crashes with motor vehicles. In 2018, approximately 5,977 pedestrians and 783 cyclists’ deaths were reported in the U.S. Safety interventions to decrease motor vehicle crashes have included: roadway design; safety programs; and laws. However, there is still much that is unknown about the factors that impact motor vehicle crashes with pedestrians and cyclists. This study, centered on the socioecological framework, aimed to describe the pedestrian and cyclist motor vehicle crashes occurring in Wichita, Kansas from 2008 through 2019. Specifically, to identify factors associated with fatalities/serious injuries of pedestrians and cyclists. From 2008 through 2019, 2,015 motor vehicle crashes involving a pedestrian (48.6%, n=979) or cyclist (51.4%, n=1,036) were reported. On average, 168 (SD = 25.300) motor vehicle crashes with pedestrian and cyclist were reported each year. Broadway street or intersections (31.7%, n=171) had the most pedestrian (n=86) and cyclist (n=85) crashes over the 12-year time period. Of the total motor vehicle crashes that included injury information (n=1,957), 26.3% (n=256) resulted in a severe or fatal injury for a pedestrian (n=177) or cyclist (n=79). There were significant associations between pedestrian serious/fatal injuries and: pedestrian age, driver age, time of day, road characteristics, vehicle maneuver, vehicle damage, pedestrian location before impact, pedestrian substance abuse, and driver substance abuse. Additionally, there were significant associations between cyclist serious or fatal injuries and: cyclist sex, driver sex, time of day, surface condition, zone, vehicle maneuver, vehicle damage, and cyclist location before impact. Study findings suggest that the frequency of pedestrian and cyclist crashes in the city of Wichita either remained consistent or increased over the course of 12 years, underscoring a need for action to increase safety and implement plans and policy efforts to decrease crash prevalence.

Walking and biking are becoming increasingly popular modes of transportation: nearly a million more people reported walking or biking to work in 2013 than in 2005. While total traffic fatalities declined from 2004 through 2013 (the most recent year for which data are available), this was not matched by a similar decline in pedestrian and cyclist fatalities. This book examines trends in pedestrian and cyclist fatalities and injuries from 2004 through 2013 and characteristics of these fatalities and injuries; safety initiatives selected states and cities have implemented and their views on challenges in addressing this issue; and actions taken by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to help improve safety. Furthermore, this book identifies noteworthy and innovative international designs, treatments, and other practices that have potential to improve bicycle and pedestrian safety and access and increase walking and bicycling in the United States.

This book explores the relationship between pedestrians/cyclists’ mode and route choice to/from metro/railway stations and the micro-level (street-scale) built environment in a second-tier city in China. More specifically, it investigates how the street-scale built environment influences pedestrians/cyclists’ mode choice and route choice behavior and examines user preferences for the micro-level built environment around metro stations. The focus on a second-tier city is motivated primarily to expand the set of Chinese cities where the effects of the built environment on pedestrian/cyclist mode and route choice have been studied. Results demonstrate the effects of the street-scale built environment on pedestrian flows. The effects are higher for the main road, which is directly connected with the metro station. The findings of this book are expected to support the design of preferred walking/biking built environments around a metro station. This book appeals to urbanists, planners, engineers, policy makers, and those interested in a wide-ranging overview of slow/green transportation and built environment promotion. These methods not only help to understand the quantitative relationship between built environment design and travel behavior but also support the evaluation and assessment of built environment design in urban planning projects. It reduces the gap in our understanding of the quantitative relationship between the micro-level built environment and pedestrians/cyclists’ transportation mode and route choice around the metro station. Both stated choice data and revealed choice data were used. An extended set of micro-level built environment attributes was developed. Besides the widely studied transportation-related factors, street-level built environment factors were studied using quantitative methods.

This investigation aims to evaluate whether the Safety in Numbers phenomenon is observable in the midwestern U.S. city of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Safety in Numbers (SIN) refers to the phenomenon that pedestrian safety is positively correlated with increased pedestrian traffic in a given area. Walking and bicycling are increasingly becoming important transportation modes in modern cities. Proper placement of non-motorized facilities and improvements has implications for safety, accessibility, and mode choice, but proper information regarding estimated non-motorized traffic levels is needed to locate areas where investments can have the greatest impact. Assessment of collision risk between automobiles and non-motorized travelers offers a tool that can help inform investments to improve non-motorized traveler safety. Models of non-motorized crash risk typically require detailed historical multimodal crash and traffic volume data, but many cities do not have dense datasets of non-motorized transport flow levels. Methods of estimating pedestrian and bicycle behavior that do not rely heavily on high-resolution count data are applied in this study. Pedestrian and cyclist traffic counts, average automobile traffic, and crash data from the city of Minneapolis are used to build models of crash frequencies at the intersection level as a function of modal traffic inputs. These models determine whether the SIN effect is observable within the available datasets for pedestrians, cyclists, and cars, as well as determine specific locations within Minneapolis where non-motorized travelers experience elevated levels of risk of crashes with automobiles.
