Abstract |
In order to gain an access to research status and developing trend of pedestrian traffic safety, data mining and information visualization tools, such as Bibexcel and Gephi, were employed to make an overview of a number of papers in the given field. Literature on pedestrian traffic safety in Web of science database for nearly 17 years (2003-2019) was used as a statistical sample, and clustering analysis was conducted from aspects of country and year of publication, number of papers published, distribution of high-yield institutions, national academic cooperation and technical areas. The results show that research papers on pedestrian traffic safety have posted a steady upward trend in the past 17 years. Transportation Research Record is the journal not only with the most articles published, but also with the most total citations. Although some journals represented by American Journal of Public Health have not published many articles, their total citations and average citations rank high. The top ten research institutions by number of articles are from Canada, the United States, South Korea, and China. And main research directions focus on pedestrian crossing behaviors, vehicle pedestrian detection, pedestrian injury risk factors, child pedestrian injury and protection, pedestrian macro traffic safety, and impacts of mobile phones on pedestrian crossing safety. Among them, researches on pedestrian macro traffic safety and pedestrian injury risk factor have shown a significant upward trend in past 5 years, which deserves attention. © 2020 China Safety Science Journal.
