Abstract

Spatial Variation in Local Road Pedestrian and Bicycle Crashes
Track: Highways and Roads
Authors: Abram Musinguzi, Deo Chimba

Pedestrians and bicyclists use different roadways varied along socioeconomic and demographic factors which make them vulnerable to crashes. This paper conducts cluster analysis in GIS to verify the spatial variation of pedestrian and bicycle crashes with respect to socioeconomic and demographics in Tennessee. By understanding which factors are particularly significant to these groups, planning, design and safety improvements can be identified to address these non-motorized trip safety concerns
