Pedestrian and Bicyclist Scalable Risk Assessment Methods

Many transportation agencies are placing more emphasis on improving pedestrian and bicyclist safety and reducing the risk of a fatality or serious injury to pedestrians and bicyclists. Practitioners need a methodical approach to assess pedestrian and bicyclist risk for the purposes of identifying high-priority areas and transportation facilities for safety improvement, evaluating specific countermeasures and locations before and after improvements are made, and tracking safety performance measures over time to gauge progress toward established goals. This article discusses the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Safety's Guide for Scalable Risk Assessment Methods for Pedestrians and Bicyclists (and accompanying spreadsheet tool), which was published in an attempt to meet that need.
