4. PROPOSED REVISIONS TO HCM CHAPTER 9 PROCEDURES: Capacity Analysis of Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities Recommended Procedures for the "Signalized Intersections" Chapter of the Highway Capacity Manual

The objective of this project is to develop revised operational analysis procedures for transportation facilities with pedestrian and bicyclist users. This document describes the effects of pedestrians and bicyclists on the capacity of signalized intersections. These procedures augment the existing Highway Capacity Manual signalized intersection Level of Service procedures for locations with substantial pedestrian and/or bicycle traffic conflicting with vehicular turning movements.

Corridor Access: Proven Safety Countermeasures Best Practices and Recommendations Reports

In January 2012, FHWA issued a “Guidance Memorandum on Promoting the Implementation of Proven Safety Countermeasures”. This guidance takes into consideration the latest safety research to advance a group of countermeasures that have shown great effectiveness in improving safety. Safety practitioners are encouraged to consider this set of countermeasures that are research-proven, but not widely applied on a national basis.

Ride Out At Intersection - Other: Crash-Type Manual for Bicyclists

Approximately one out of six highway fatalities in the United States is a bicyclist or pedestrian each year. Estimates for 1995 indicate that 61,000 bicyclists were injured and 830 were killed in traffic crashes. These crashes can be classified or "typed" by their precipitating actions, predisposing factors, and characteristic populations and/or location that can be targeted for intervention.

Pg 37-38: Pedestrian and Bicyclist Intersection Safety Indices

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.
