摘要：AbstractPedestrian fatalities account for approximately 12% of all fatalities statewide in Texas and as much as 18% in urban area. Locating where the high risk spot is and addressing the cause factors are critical. North Lamar Boulevard in Austin Texas has seen an increase in pedestrian crashes in recent years. A team of agencies collaborated on ways to address the safety concern. After studying the crash locations and pedestrian crossing data, the group identified two study sections. The crashes historical records provide the opportunity to access the massive crash data and associated crash attributes. Geographic Information System (GIS) technology was used to facilitate the data collection and the GIS map overlaid with road network was used in the case study corridor. The countermeasure for the pedestrian crash was analyzed and proposed at the end.
