Abstract
The concept for a method of constructing a pedestrian hazard index is developed using the following hazard indicators; number of pedestrian accidents; pedestrian accident rate; proportion of special pedestrians crossing; noncompliance with the signal; and pedestrian /vehicle conflicts. The raw data are then converted from each indicator into a hazard value, ranging from 0 to 100. The last step assigns weights to each hazard indicator value to produce a pedestrian hazard index for each intersection.
