Pedestrian and Bicycle Data and Performance Measures

Thank you

The live event has ended. Recording now available to view on-demand. 

To learn how to purchase your PDH Certificates and see more information about the webinar including fees and on-demand access, please view the webinar course page here.

This webinar is led by ITE Pedestrian and Bicycle Standing Committee.

Webinar Description:
Data are the foundation for safety, equity and health analysis. Without data,
our work as transportation professionals is reduced to guess work. Bicycle and pedestrian data are often sparse and the collection is limited by time and budget constraints. This webinar will cover both data sources and applications. First, this webinar will cover how to find and spread the word about accessible pedestrian and bicycle data repositories from both local and national perspectives. Next, findings from the latest research on how to incorporate emerging crowdsourced data sources to estimate bicycle traffic across a network will be discussed. Finally, the webinar will wrap up by exploring at how we can consider equity in our data and performance measures.

Learning Objectives:

  • Recognize the needs and importance of bicycle and pedestrian data for our work as transportation professionals
  • Identify potential data sources through examples of local and national sources
  • Understand findings from the latest research on how to estimate bicycle traffic across a network
  • Consider ways that equity can be part of the data and performance measure process

  • Krista Nordback, P.E., Senior Research Associate | UNC Highway Safety Research Center | Chapel Hill, NC, United States

    Krista Nordback is a senior research associate, focusing on bicycle and pedestrian traffic and safety. She earned her doctorate in civil engineering from the University of Colorado Denver, master’s from University of Minnesota and bachelor’s from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her doctoral dissertation developed a new method for estimating bicycle traffic and provided one of the first safety performance functions for bicyclists at signalized intersections in the U.S. She has researched non-motorized traffic counting technologies and programs for Colorado, Washington and Oregon departments of transportation. She has also worked with the team at Portland State University on creating a national bicycle and pedestrian count archive, Bike-Ped Portal. At HSRC Krista continues her work to understand bicyclist and pedestrian safety.

    Sirisha Kothuri, Ph.D. is a senior research associate in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Portland State University. Dr. Kothuri’s primary research interests are in the areas of multimodal traffic operations, bicycle and pedestrian counting, and safety. Dr. Kothuri is a member of Transportation Research Board's Pedestrians (ACH10) and Traffic Signal Systems Committees (ACP25). She chairs the multimodal subcommittee of the Traffic Signal Systems committee, is the co-chair of the Pedestrian research subcommittee and the research co-chair of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Data Subcommittee. Dr. Kothuri received her BCE from Osmania University, India, MSCE from Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge and Ph.D. from Portland State University.

  • Stefanie Brodie, Research Practice Lead | Toole Design Group | Silver Spring, Maryland, United States

    Stefanie Brodie is a senior researcher who specializes in transportation planning and policy. She believes that research should help public agencies make informed decisions and focused her doctoral and postdoctoral research on performance-based decision making in transportation, especially how to incorporate equity and other social sustainability considerations into decision making. Stefanie completed her BS in Civil Engineering at the University of Maryland and obtained a Master’s of City and Regional Planning and a MS and PhD in Civil Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. Prior to her role at Toole Design, she worked as a Marie Curie postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Nottingham and the Research Program Specialist at the District Department of Transportation.

  • Dan Gelinne, Senior Research Associate | UNC Highway Safety Research Center | Chapel Hill, NC, United States

    Dan Gelinne joined the University of North Carolina (UNC) Highway Safety Research Center (HSRC) in 2006, and currently serves as the program manager for the Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center (PBIC), where he performs research, web management, project oversight and technical support services. He also manages the Road Safety Academy, the training arm of HSRC. Dan managed the development of the Pedestrian Safety Strategic Plan for the Federal Highway Administration and led the effort to draft the National Bicycling and Walking Study: 15-Year Status Report to assess the state of walking and bicycling in the United States. Dan has helped coordinate and manage the Walk Friendly Communities program, and helps manage a national technical assistance program to help communities in the area of pedestrian safety planning and design. Through the Road Safety Academy, he works to provide continuing education and training opportunities for a variety of professionals in the transportation field. Dan is a member of the Transportation Research Board Task Force on Road Safety Workforce Development and holds a B.A. in geography and environmental science from UNC-Chapel Hill.
