Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of a tool for visualizing, at a glance, the salient features of the interaction between motorists and pedestrians. Simple, yet robust and flexible, tools are needed to describe and summarize real-world roadway conditions for problem identification and to monitor the progress that has been made toward achieving safety goals. In the study described in this paper, the safety viewgram has been developed to help visualize various types of traffic safety problems. Although this particular tool has been developed by using observational data for pedestrians and drivers in Hawaii, it could be used for other types of safety studies in other locales. After the development and use of this tool are described, a number of different illustrative examples of how it might be used are provided. Although this is largely a visualization tool, efforts are under way to devise both more rigorous statistical applications and a user-friendly interface for data entry, data manipulation, and presentation of the traffic safety viewgram.
