Transportation Research and Education (ITRE)
/Description: /Bicycle and pedestrian exposure data are needed to help
contextualize crash data and determine crash rates. Without the crash
rate based on reliable exposure data, it is difficult to understand and
accurately determine if crash increases are due to more people on the
road or other factors. The first presentation summarizes efforts to
launch a statewide pedestrian and bicyclist monitoring program at Texas
DOT and provides a foundation for one approach to institutionalize the
collection of these exposure data. The second presentation exemplifies
how big data can be used to create an exposure map of bicyclists in San
Francisco and shows that the number of crashes and the number of people
bicycling is needed to understand which corridors have higher risk
through crash rates. Finally, a unique type of pedestrian exposure is
described through data collection efforts to determine the extent of
pedestrian trespassing events along railways in North Carolina.
/Learning Objectives:/
* Become familiar with different program strategies and elements used
to implement a statewide pedestrian and bicyclist monitoring program.
* Understand how location-based service apps combined with machine
learning can differentiate transportation modes to identify
bicycling activity.
* Recognize how estimating the universe of pedestrian trespassing
along railroads provides a more complete picture of exposure than
the limited strike data available through the Federal Rail
Administration that only represents crash events.
