Child pedestrian safety work has focused on traffic-related incidents; non-traffic pedestrian injuries that occur off public roadways (e.g., private driveways or parking lots) represent a significant child safety problem that has been neglected. This project will document the magnitude and nature of the problem, and develop a promising set of countermeasure approaches to address each major accident scenario and target group. The strategies may include environmental and vehicle changes, and educational interventions for children, parents, and drivers. Phase I will: review existing literature; analyze data sources to characterize the problem; and develop and evaluate target strategies. Phase I will thus derive a set of most promising design concepts and identify key research needs. Phase II will address the needed research, and develop and test the selected options. Because little work has addressed this safety problem and a diverse range of countermeasure targets exists, there is substantial opportunity for the development and widespread use of effective new safety products, programs, and guidelines. Potential for technological innovation comes from adapting approaches from other applications (e.g., sensor technologies). A wide range of consumers would include individual families, architects, engineers, vehicle owners, health/safety agencies, schools, and child safety organizations.

儿童行人安全工作的重点是与交通相关的事件； 在公共道路以外发生的非交通行人伤害(例如， 私人车道或停车场)代表着重要的儿童安全 被忽视的问题。该项目将记录 问题的严重性和性质，并制定一套有希望的 处理每个重大事故情景的对策方法和 目标群体。战略可以包括环境战略和车辆战略 变化，以及对儿童、家长和 司机。第一阶段：回顾现有文献；分析数据来源 描述问题的特征；并制定和评估目标 战略。因此，第一阶段将衍生出一套最有希望的设计 概念和确定关键的研究需求。第二阶段将针对 需要研究，并开发和测试选定的选项。因为 很少有工作解决这个安全问题，以及各种不同的 对策目标存在，存在实质性机遇 开发和广泛使用有效的新安全产品， 计划和指导方针。技术创新的潜力来了 适应来自其他应用(例如，传感器)的方法 技术)。范围广泛的消费者将包括个人 家庭、建筑师、工程师、车主、卫生/安全机构、 学校和儿童安全组织。
