The papers in the volume address three distinct topics: bicycling, pedestrians, and older drivers. Within each area a diversity of technical topics is covered. Accident data requirements for increasing the understanding of bicycling accidents are put forth, an environmental benefits analysis of bicycling and walking is given, and clearance intervals at signalized intersections for mixed traffic are analyzed. An intelligent bicycle routing system to supply cyclists with important travel information and a study of bicyclist characteristics in Phoenix round out the section on bicycles and bicycle facilities. A similar variety of subjects is found among the papers on pedestrians: a method for determining service levels is described, models for estimating pedestrian volumes are tested, and characteristics of pedestrian accidents in Saudi Arabia are analyzed. The last paper in the set makes a transition between the pedestrian and older driver sections in that it discusses accidents among older pedestrians and appropriate countermeasures. Concluding the Record are evaluations of suggestions for improving the driving of older persons and a study of the basis in selected states for referring older drivers for license reexamination.
