Abstract

Collisions between vehicles and pedestrians represent a significant road safety problem and are overrepresented at night-time, with pedestrians being up to seven times more likely to be involved in a fatal collision at night than in the day. This is particularly relevant at road work sites, which place road workers in a potentially vulnerable position with respect to oncoming traffic.
