Pg 37-38: Pedestrian and Bicyclist Intersection Safety Indices
Comment:
Countermeasure Selection: Once pedestrian crossings and bicycle approaches to Intersection have been prioritized for in depth safety evaluation using Ped Intersection Safety Indices (ISI) and Bike ISI, the practitioner will have many options for evaluation, analysis, and treatment. The authors recommend PEDSAFE and BIKESAFE as excellent tools to assist in the selection of appropriate countermeasures. PEDSAFE is available from FHWA.

Abstract:The Pedestrian and Bicycle Intersection Safety Indices (Ped ISI and Bike ISI) are a set of models that enable users to identify intersection crossings and intersection approach legs that should be the greatest priority for undergoing indepth pedestrian and bicycle safety assessment. This TechBrief summarizes the final report which had the development of these indices as its primary objective.
