Pedestrian risk exposure using fuzzy ant model simulation

Millions of lives are lost each year to urban networks, and other pedestrians are injured whose severity depends primarily on the speed of vehicles. And this is due to the fact that walking activity is not yet considered an essential and necessary part of the overall transport system. In the context of Removing or at least decreasing accident risks for pedestrians, this paper presents an accident indicator risk for pedestrians. A software solution is being developed for this purpose. From a spatial map of a given road network, the software solution will allow the assessment of risk of accident rates for pedestrians on each road of the studied urban network, based on the characteristics of the latter (spatial configuration, traffic signals, flow and speed of vehicles, pedestrians' dynamics, etc).
