Influence of Pedestrians' Age and Gender types on Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Pedestrian Crashes.

CONCLUSIONS: This research reveals that temporal and spatial distributions of vehicle-pedestrian crashes vary for different pedestrians' age groups and gender types. Therefore, specific safety measures should be placed during the high crash times at different locations for different age groups and gender types to increase the effectiveness of the countermeasures in preventing and reducing the vehicle-pedestrian crashes.
