'Pedestrian Traffic' takes an initial look, through my own and the perspectives and publications of our researchers, engineers, accident victims, officials, and concerned agencies the deficiencies, biases and potential improvement to pedestrians' safety and convenience. We look more closely at person crossing needs, tasks and abilities, including those for disabled people, as well as the inconsistencies and biases of our Highway Code, lessons and shortcomings of reporting and accident investigation, approaches to speed and alcohol problems and a glance at our societal attitudes evidenced by court rulings. Vehicle-related technology examined includes the 'black box' in motor vehicles, available automated pedestrians detection and avoidance, the potential for so-called 'driverless' cars, and 'forgiving' vehicle design.
