“…The risk of fatal or serious injury of pedestrians was also found to be higher if the crash happened along mid-block sections or at crosswalk facilities at mid-blocks (Yasmin et al, 2013), but the injury risk was lower if the crash occurred at intersections (Kim et al, 2010;Rothman et al, 2012). Similarly Aziz et al (2013) reported that pedestrian crossings at a signalized intersection have a lower probability of fatality but a higher probability of injury. 5 This is probably due to the explanation given by Lee & Abdel-Aty (2005) that at those intersectios without traffic control, drivers tend to drive faster and increase the impact of crashes in collisions.…”

During the last decade, traffic injury rates of elderly pedestrians in Singapore were more than twice of those for pedestrians of all ages. This paper aims to identify the factors and situations influencing the injury severity of elderly pedestrians involved in vehicle-pedestrian crashes. Six years of crash data from 2003 to 2008 containing about 805 elderly pedestrian crashes were analysed. The injury severity was modeled as a function of roadway characteristics, traffic features, environmental factors as well as driver and pedestrian characteristics using a randomparameter ordered Probit model that accounts for unobserved heterogeneities in the population.Results show that the likelihood of fatal injury is higher during night time. While the probabilities of fatal or serious injury are higher along high-speed roads and at three-legged intersections, the corresponding probabilities are lower if the crash involving elderly pedestrians Downloaded by [University of California, San Diego] at 19:05 21 June 2016 ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 2happens at signalized intersections. Elderly pedestrians appear to be more involved in fatal and serious injury crashes when they attempt to cross the road away from any at-grade crossing facility or cross unlawfully within 50m of grade-separated crossing facilities. Based on the findings of this study, specific countermeasures are recommended to improve safety of elderly pedestrians.

“…One of the essential elements of expert opinions on road accidents in which a pedestrian is hit is to perform a time-distance analysis (Zebala et al, 2012;Aziz et al, 2012). This depends on pedestrians' acceleration at the onset of walking or running across a road after traffic lights change at a pedestrian crossing, or after vehicles on a road have gone by.…”

Nearly 1.3 million people die in road crashes each year, on average 3,287 deaths a day. In 2013 in European Union more than 22 % of all who died in road traffic crashes were pedestrians. The number of pedestrians killed on roads in the EU has decreased by only 11 %, compared to the total fatality decrease of 18 % from 2010 to 2013. Of all pedestrian fatalities, 69 % are killed inside urban areas. This paper reviews the literature concerning pedestrian-motor vehicle collision and road safety management according to pedestrian role in accident rise. Paper examine pedestrians safety in order to determine what kind of factors of transport infrastructure, vehicle technical parameters, pedestrian behaviour and road or street category have the influence on pedestrian and vehicle accidents and identify technical reasons of accidents rise. Pedestrians crossing, crossing selection, crossing design and waiting times present the pedestrian role in accident according to road situation. A review is conducted of information in the literature on the injury outcome of a pedestrian/vehicle collision for a given impact speed and the likely consequences of reducing the travelling speeds of vehicles in terms of the frequency and severity of pedestrian injuries. Technical information found gives the opportunity to improve accident reconstruction cases and technical parameters, also it let to identify road infrastructure problems and pedestrian behaviour in road.

“…Pedestrians account for a high proportion of casualties in traffic accidents: 13% in the USA and 10-16% in the European Union. The injury of pedestrians takes up high proportion of traffic accident casualties, for example, amongst the traffic accident toll, 13% the deaths are pedestrians in USA (Aziz, 2013), and 10%～16% are pedestrians in European Union (Kong and Yang 2010). In developing countries, the proportion is even higher: in India, for example, it is more than 40% (Kong and Yang, 2010).…”

Abstract:In order to study the effects of the microbus front structure on pedestrian head injury happened in pedestrian-microbus collisions, the mathematic models of the impact angle and microbus front configuration are developed, which illustrate the relationship between the impact angle, pedestrian size, and oblique angles of the engine hood and windscreen. The mathematic models are then verified by simulating experiments using LY-Dyna. The impact angle , which is measured between the contact surface and the pedestrian head's impact direction at the contact point, is an important parameter indicating the relationship of pedestrian head injury with the microbus front structure. The analysis and simulation results reveal that (1) in the case of collision with the windscreen, the pedestrian head injury increases while  increases; (2) in the case of collision with the engine hood, the pedestrian head incurs the most serious injury when  = 90 o , the pedestrian head injury increases while  increases when
