Review article

Pedestrian crashes on federal highways can be considered as one of the types of road traffic accidents characterized with a high severity of consequences The study of the factors leading to the occurrence of these accidents is a scientific study task, the solution of which is going to reduce their number and severity. One of the least studied issues in this regard is the analysis of the road characteristics` influence on the pedestrian crashes risk. The purpose of the study is to estimate the frequency distribution of pedestrian crashes on federal highway segments with different characteristics. The authors have carried out one-dimensional, two-dimensional and three-dimensional frequency tests. As a result, there are revealed groups of road segments characterized with the highest frequency of pedestrian crashes. The results obtained contribute to the development of the theory of assessing and forecasting the pedestrian crashes risk depending on various factors.
