Literature Review on Vehicle Travel Speeds and Pedestrian Injuries.  
Summarizes the literature examining the relationship between vehicle travel speeds and resulting pedestrian injury.  This document also provides an analysis of NHTSA's General Estimates System (GES) for the years 1994-1996, the State of Florida pedestrian crash data for the years 1993-1996, and NHTSA's Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) for the years 1992-1996.  Literature pertaining to countermeasures for reducing pedestrian crashes are included.

Pedestrian Roadway Fatalities
This report was written to provide insight into the possible causes for pedestrian highway fatalites involving a single motor vehicle (single vehicle crash, SV crash), which not surprisingly account for over 90 percent of pedestrian fatalities from motor vehicle crashes. The analysis was based on 1998-2001 data from the qatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), a census of all data motor vehicle crashes.

Zone Guide for Pedestrian Safety
A guide book describing a systematic, or "zoning" process to improve pedestrian safety in a cost-effective manner. The zoning process identifies small geographic areas where a large proportion of pedestrian crashes occur, and then targets countermeasures to those areas.
