Abstract:Technological advances of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) will not uniformly decrease crash risks as some environments, crash types, and user groups will continue to experience elevated risks, particularly vulnerable road users such as pedestrians. This project addresses these critical safety issues by: 1) assessing the current and future landscape of pedestrian and vehicle conflicts; 2) identifying how vehicle technology, planning policies, and data analytics can provide systemic solutions to pedestrian-vehicle conflicts; and 3) using data analytics to identify dangerous pre-crash behaviors.
