| Abstract | This research examined the pedestrian accidents in Khon Kaen Municipality, Thailand. The data used to analyze the pedestrian accidents were obtained from the trauma registry of the Critical & Trauma Center, Khon Kaen Regional Hospital. Initially, to determine the contributing factors of pedestrian accidents, the category analysis of data involving of pedestrian accidents were conducted by using the chi-square test. Afterwards, the pedestrian prediction crash models were developed by employing SPSS program. A step-wise analysis was performed on several selected contributing factors of pedestrian accidents. Eventually, two linear and one non-linear pedestrian prediction crash models were selected in this study. To identify locations where pedestrian crash problems exist in Khon Kaen Municipality, the Arc View GIS spatial analyst, the aid of geographic information systems, was employed to create the pedestrian crash density map by using locations and attributes obtained from GIS road accident database. Based on the developed pedestrian crash density map, the most relatively high pedestrian crash location were found to locate along the Sreechan Road. To improve the existing unsafe conditions to pedestrians, three relatively high accident locations which were determined from the created pedestrian crash density map were selected to highlight the unsafe conditions. These locations are: Sreechan Road Section (from Anamai Road to Chataphadung Road), Sreechan Road and Chataphadung Road Intersection, Sreechan Road Section (from Department of Highway's Khon Kaen Branch Office to Khlongchonlaprathan), In addition, one high pedestrian traffic location, KlangMuang Road and Chuanchun Road Intersection was selected as a representative to conduct the site investigation. To identify unsafe roadway conditions to pedestrians, the specific checklist based on Road Safety Audit concept was used as a guideline. Moreover, unsafe road users' behaviors were also investigated at these selected locations. Finally, recommendations to improve these unsafe conditions were made at all these selected locations |
