"The Safer Roads: Vulnerable Road User Program has been developed to improve the overall safety of vulnerable road users by minimising the opportunities for conflict between them and motor vehicles. Funding has been allocated from the Road Safety Levy to implement initiatives aimed at reducing serious casualty crashes involving vulnerable road users. A total of 500,000 [dollars] per annum has been allocated to the Program. The Program addresses areas (including both urban and non-urban locations) where there is current or potential risk of crashes occurring as a result of conflict between motor vehicles and vulnerable road users. Submissions will be assessed against selection criteria to ascertain the validity of the project and the benefits in relation to cost."--Introduction.

"Walking and powered two-wheelers (PTWs) play a fundamental role in the urban mobility of many Latin American (LA) cities. Despite their importance, the road safety of these transportation modes, referred to as vulnerable road users, is still a major concern. In the Americas, pedestrians and PTWs represent almost half of the road fatalities as they account for 22% and 20% of the fatalities respectively. Moreover, the percentage of PTWs users in traffic fatalities has been rapidly increasing in Latin American countries - for instance, in Bogota, this increased from 18% in 2013 to 28% in 2017. To deal with the road safety problem, many developed countries have established programs and methodologies for the countermeasure implementation (e.g. “vision zero”). However, such programs are often absent in LA countries. Among many other factors, this is attributed to the lack of economic resources, safety-related data and tools for safety diagnosis and evaluation. Road crash data frequently does not exist or lacks quality. Crash data often suffers from inconsistencies, misclassification, inaccurate geographical locations and inaccurate identification of crash contributory factors. In addition, it can take years to gather sufficient information for diagnosis and countermeasure evaluation, making it difficult to determine failure mechanisms that lead to crashes and contributing risk factors. In this context, there is a need for data and methodologies for safety analysis and countermeasure evaluation that do not rely on crashes. To address the issues with observed crash data, alternative approaches have emerged in the last few years. This includes the surrogate-road-safety approach which includes conflict techniques or measures of proximity and speed measures derived from video trajectory data. This alternative approach is a low cost and time efficient way to get data for safety diagnosis and evaluation of countermeasures. Despite the recent developments in surrogate safety measures and tools, very few studies exist in the literature regarding the investigation of vulnerable road users (VRUs) road safety in developing countries using alternative surrogate safety methods. Very little is documented about the contributing factors related to dangerous vehicle-VRUs interactions and the low-cost road-design treatments that can help reduce VRUs injuries in LA context. As walking and PTWs are essential modes of transportation in LA countries, PTW face a great risk of injury and are involved in a disproportionate number of vehicle collisions in urban areas. The general objective of this thesis is to introduce the use of surrogate measures of safety and methodologies for VRUs in the context of LA using video analysis techniques. More specifically, the first part of this research has two objectives. First, this thesis proposes and implements a proactive surrogate safety methodology using video trajectory data in the context of developing countries to identify risk-contributing factors to vehicle-pedestrian interactions at distinct types of junctions and to evaluate the effectiveness of temporary low-cost countermeasures using Cochabamba and Bogota as case studies. In the second half, extensive video trajectory data was obtained, automatically processed and used to analyze the effect of speed, conflicts and driver behavior, including maneuvering and traffic violations, on PTWs safety and to identify the factors contributing to PTWs risk in the LA context. Hundreds of hours of video data were automatically processed using a specialized computer vision software to generate speed and road-user trajectory data to investigate the risk factors"--
