                NCHRP Report 893: Systemic Pedestrian Safety Analysis
**Description:**
        This guidebook provides a framework for transportation agencies to take the steps needed to advance toward implementing a risk-based, systemic pedestrian safety management process. It is intended to serve state departments of transportation (DOTs) personnel and contractors, including managers and staff in highway safety improvement programs, pedestrian and bicycle programs, and safety data management programs. Its guidance is also applicable for local and regional transportation agencies that may be working independently or in coordination with state DOT staff on safety improvement efforts. The introductory chapter is intended for higher-level decision makers and elected officials. The objectives are providing a rationale and motivation for taking a systemic approach, clarifying key terms and definitions, describing the data needs for a systemic process and offering guidance on how agencies can acquire necessary data and conduct a systemic analysis. The guidebook also provides alternative methods and troubleshooting as well as highlights real-world examples that can provide motivation and models for systemic approaches.

The guidebook was developed as part of the National Cooperative Highway Research Program Project 17-73, “Conducting Systemic Pedestrian Safety Analyses.” The full technical report complements this guidebook and offers more details on the research methods and provides an example of a systemic safety analysis for users who may seek more in-depth information on the analysis process.
