Pedestrians: Research Problem Statements

This document presents the top 16 pedestrian Research Problem Statements, prioritized from a list of approximately 80 Research Problem Statements by the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Committee on Pedestrians (ANF10). The original list of approximately 80 Research Problem Statements comprised statements garnered by the TRB over several years, plus a list of research topics gathered from researchers and practitioners around the country during 2001 by Charles Zegeer of the Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center. The top 15 rankings of each of the committee member respondents were combined by the Subcommittee on Research to determine a final top 15 list. Members of the subcommittee also chose to add a 16th Research Problem Statement on the Segway Human Intermodal Transporter (SHT). The topics in the original list of statements can be classified into nine categories that suggest the broad agenda of pedestrian research: demand management and forecasting; crash and risk analysis; design and engineering (standards and guidelines); pedestrian facility evaluation; policy and planning; land use and urban design; enforcement and education; health and physical activity; and pedestrians with disabilities. The titles and objectives of the original Research Problem Statements are provided in the appendix of this document.
