Abstract

ABSTRACT This research examines whether the distance between school locations and the Central Business District (CBD) is related to crash hotspots by employing spatial-statistical methods to cluster school-aged children involved in crashes. The findings indicate that (i) severe school-related crashes are significantly clustered away from the CBD as opposed to minor school-related crashes and (ii) severe crashes are more likely to happen around the schools despite the fact that estimated vehicle speeds at the time of crashes are lower in the vicinity of the nearest associated school. This helps identify locations adjacent to schools that pose a higher risk and offers transportation authority’s insight into the effectiveness of safety countermeasures within school zones.

与学校事故相关的空间关系的概念化:佛罗里达州西北部的案例研究

摘要本研究采用空间统计方法对涉及交通事故的学龄儿童进行聚类，探讨学校所在地与中央商务区(CBD)之间的距离是否与交通事故热点有关。研究结果表明:(1)与学校相关的严重交通事故明显集中在远离CBD的地方，而不是与学校相关的轻微交通事故;(2)严重交通事故更有可能发生在学校附近，尽管在最近的相关学校附近发生交通事故时的估计车速较低。这有助于识别学校附近的高风险地点，并为交通部门提供对学校区域内安全对策有效性的洞察。

期刊介绍： Transportation Planning and Technology places considerable emphasis on the interface between transportation planning and technology, economics, land use planning and policy. The Editor welcomes submissions covering, but not limited to, topics such as: • transport demand • land use forecasting • economic evaluation and its relationship to policy in both developed and developing countries • conventional and possibly unconventional future systems technology • urban and interurban transport terminals and interchanges • environmental aspects associated with transport (particularly those relating to climate change resilience and adaptation). The journal also welcomes technical papers of a more narrow focus as well as in-depth state-of-the-art papers. State-of-the-art papers should address transport topics that have a strong empirical base and contain explanatory research results that fit well with the core aims and scope of the journal.
