Over the past year, the San Francisco Department of Parking and Traffic (DPT) conducted an intensive pedestrian-safety engineering study, the PedSafe Study. PedSafe was funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)*, which also funded companion studies in Las Vegas and Miami. The study was...

Over the past decade, there have been many crowd related tragedies. To help avoid such situations a strategy is developed here to improve the safety of pedestrians in densely populated situations. The results of simulations performed on two cases of accidents involving trampling, which occur...
