TRC2302 - Development of Pedestrian and Bicyclist Flow Volumes and Risk Factors

Pedestrian and Bicyclist safety is a growing concern and priority for the U.S. Department of Transportation. Fatalities for non-motorists have increased nationwide since 2009, and this increase has also been observed in Arkansas. The first objective of this project will be to collect data on non-motorized transportation users across the state using count stations and crowdsourced data. Traffic volume data will be overlaid with historical crash data to determine crash risks. Recommended countermeasures will be determined to address high-risk areas and provide resources for future project planning to make Arkansas roads safer for all users.
