The Vehicle-Pedestrian Injury Collision Model predicts change in the number of collisions resulting in pedestrian injury or death associated with area-level changes in street, land use and population characteristics due to new development or transportation system changes. SFDPH uses this model to inform the need for pedestrian safety mitigations and improvements in the course of land use and transportation planning, to prevent people from being injured or killed by motor vehicles while walking on San Francisco streets. Significant predictors (census-tract level variables) in the current model are: Traffic volume Arterial streets (%, without MUNI Transit) Neighborhood commercial areas (%, land area) Land area (square miles) Employee population Resident population Below poverty level (%, population) Age 65 and older (%, population)
