Towards activity-based exposure measures in spatial analysis of pedestrian-motor vehicle crashesThis article was handled by Associate Editor Chris Lee.

CONCLUSIONS: The use of population or population density as a surrogate for pedestrian exposure when modeling the frequency of zonal pedestrian crashes is expected to produce biased estimations and invalid inferences. Spatial heterogeneity should also not be negligible when modeling pedestrian crashes involving contiguous spatial units.
