Study on VRU Safety in Beijing

This paper selects five crossing places to study road and junction crossings. The five places include: 1) the road crossing near the intersection, 2) a multiple-roadway (at least three) crossing, 3) the road crossing near a bus stop, 4) the intersection, and 5) the intersection within one of imports is three-dimensional form of crossing. Based on the survey, this paper gives a summary of the main factors leading to a traffic crash from road users' behavior, safety measurements, traffic channelization, and so on. In order to reduce conflicts and improve the safety of vulnerable road users, improvement countermeasures are provided. We adopt the multi-criteria method—Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to structure an evaluation system for vulnerable road users, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of the measures above.
