Abstract
In Taiwan, many small local streets lack adequate pedestrian sidewalks and are usually congested with parked vehicles, automobiles, and motorcycles. Conflict between motorized vehicles and pedestrians occurs frequently on these local streets. Traffic calming countermeasures can be adopted to improve this situation; however, it is necessary to develop an assessment model to determine which countermeasures are most effective. This paper, then, develops a risk index of pedestrian--vehicle conflict consisting of both exposure and severity components. Based on this risk index, the Level of Safety relating to pedestrians is defined and classified into 5 levels by a fuzzy classification method. The model can then be applied in a practical manner.
