Estimating Pedestrian Accident Exposure: Protocol Report

Noemi S. The choice of strategy for counting pedestrians depends on a complex range of factors, including the characteristics of the area being studied; the resources available for data collection; and the specific purpose of data collection. This protocol aims to improve pedestrian data collection in the state of California by providing information and guidance for each decision point in the data collection process. These decision points include: pedestrian exposure, area-wide methods, site-specific methods, data collection planning at intersections, and estimating annual pedestrian volumes. Each of these will guide the user through important considerations relevant to the data collection stage.
