Landscapes of Risk: The Geography of Fatal Traffic Collisions in Indiana, 2003 to 2011

Influence of built environment on pedestrian crashes: A network-based GIS analysis

“…Our study suggests that pedestrian crashes were more likely to occur in areas with less gradient change, denser population, more public transit stops, and higher proportions of people taking public transits to work. This corroborates results in Indiana (Nunn & Newby, 2015) and other places (Clifton & Kreamer-Fults, 2007;Truong & Somenahalli, 2011) that identify the strong associations between these builtenvironment indicators and the likelihood of pedestrian crashes.…”

“…Crashes and built environment mismatch even though they are in the same units. The mismatch may attribute to mixed research results because different levels of aggregation may produce different findings (Nunn & Newby, 2015). This challenge can be lessened by using the possibly smallest area units and different scales of spatial aggregation (Paez & Scott, 2004).…”

Characterizing and Predicting Traffic Accidents in Extreme Weather Environments

“…Negative effects to parts of an urban system can lead to cascading failures that can result in diminished accessibility by emergency responders. In this way, vulnerability to traffic accidents is dependent on more than the road alone (Whitelegg 1987;Nunn and Newby 2015).…”

“…Based on the assessments made in this report, studies such as this one can assist transportation planning efforts, namely, with translating climate and accident data to "terms that resonate with transportation practitioners" (Hyman et al 2014, 5), evaluating various costs and benefits of potential and implemented infrastructural or environmental changes, and decision making. Informed mitigation processes through the understanding of spatiotemporal accident patterns and resulting risk can help reduce the number of casualties by implementing more effective planning designs (Nunn and Newby 2015).…”
