Abstract

A recent inquiry by the Parliamentary Road Safety Committee of Victoria into the Incidence and Prevention of Pedestrian Accidents, identified alcohol-impaired pedestrians as an at-risk group for involvement in a crash. As a result, research was commissioned to identify a measure of pedestrian intoxication. The objective was to establish a methodology for measuring the effects of alcohol on key pedestrian behaviours in the laboratory. Analysis of the data collected will be described in the full papers. The key outcome from this project is to establish this methodology as being a valid measure of the effects of alcohol intoxication on critical behaviours necessary for safe pedestrian activity. Future studies will develop the task to further explore the impairing effects of alcohol and other drugs on pedestrian behaviour. (Abstract only) (A) For the covering abstract of the conference, see ITRD Abstract No. E201067.
