Data were collected on land use and layout, population and socio-economic characteristics, pedestrian numbers (by age and sex) traffic, and casualties to pedestrians in 474 one kilometer squares of representative housing areas in England and Wales, in order to examine the influence of these factors on annual pedestrian casualty rates. Various models were developed to rationalize the data. Rates were explained in terms of: pedestrian and traffic data; population and census data; and land use/layout data. The best of the models explained up to 77 percent of the variation about the mean casualty rate, but standard errors of estimate were high. Factors influencing the size of these errors were examined and possible practical applications of the models were considered. (Copyright (c) Crown 1982.)
