Minimum datasets for pedestrian safety

The Austroads’ funded project "Keeping People Safe When Walking" aims to help chart a path to zero pedestrian serious trauma, by establishing a greater level of understanding and insights into pedestrian safety risk, trauma, and cost-effective countermeasures. 

Initial review work had already been undertaken in Stream 1. As one of the Stream 2 tasks, ViaStrada was asked to determine the minimum desired data required to progress pedestrian safety. This involved literature review of pedestrian-related datasets currently available, industry surveys regarding the use of the various datasets, and interviews with city/state/territory jurisdictions to understand their use of pedestrian datasets.

The resulting findings were documented in a research report, a data framework spreadsheet, and Practice Guideline. This presentation summarised the outputs from all this work.
