註釋

The thesis focused on pedestrian safety and discusses theoretical foundations of bus stops and determines the types of accident risks between bus travellers as pedestrians and motor vehicles within the zones of the bus stop. Thus, the objectives of this thesis can be summarized as follows: Classification of bus stops, particularly according to objects of main attraction (pedestrian-generating activities), Analysis of traffic movement and interactions as an accident/risk exposure in the zone of bus stops with respect to that structure, Categorizing traffic accident in the vicinity of bus stops, and to analyse the interactions (interacting movements) that occur within bus stop zones in order to discover the nature of problems, Formulation of tabular forms (based on traffic interactions that creating and causing possibilities of accident conflict) for practical statistical methods of those accidents related to bus stop; and safety aspects related to the micro-location of bus stops to assist in the micro-location design, operations of bus stop safety facilities and safer pedestrian crossing for access between the bus stop and nearby objects of attraction.
