Comment:
Presents an analysis framework for quantifying pedestrian accessibility. This framework guides the analysis in this document and is generally applicable to other studies. It discusses performance characteristics of pedestrians that are used to quantify the availability of crossing opportunities in the traffic stream, as well as the pedestrians’ ability (or willingness) to successfully utilize these opportunities. On the basis of these accessibility criteria, the chapter discusses analysis strategies for the collected field data, including definitions of pedestrian–vehicle events and variables used in the analysis. This includes: crossing performance characteristics, Crosswalk Usability Criteria, Field Evaluation Approach.
