| 摘要： | Over the past decade, national policy and legislation have reflected a goal to increase the amount of pedestrian activity and the safety of pedestrians. The 1991 Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act and 1997 Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century transportation bills promote planning for pedestrians and bicyclists as a part of statewide and metropolitan transportation planning efforts. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has also had a significant impact on pedestrian research in the last decade. The U.S. Department of Transportation's (USDOT) 1994 National Bicycling and Walking Study, mandated by Congress, made policy recommendations for doubling the number of trips made by bicycling and walking and for decreasing pedestrian and bicycle injuries and fatalities by 10%. Many of the research topics in this document are related to these goals. Pedestrian research involves a wide range of topics, from designing individual crosswalks and intersections to accommodate all pedestrians, to installing continuous sidewalks throughout neighborhoods and roadway corridors, to altering roadway design to slow traffic, to providing pedestrian access to buildings and transit stops. Research on signal timing, intelligent transportation systems (ITS) applications, the design of sidewalks and crossings, driver yielding behavior, and pedestrian detection should consider impacts on different groups of pedestrians, including children, the elderly, and people with all types of physical disabilities, including those in human-powered and motorized wheelchairs. When the word 'pedestrian' is used in this document, it refers to all types of pedestrians. This document presents the top 16 pedestrian Research Problem Statements, prioritized from a list of approximately 80 Research Problem Statements by the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Committee on Pedestrians (ANF10). |
