Hi,
I need to produce a probability for a vehicle and a pedestrian meeting along a 1km road.
Here is what I know:
•1km road
•cars take 3 minutes to travel
•pedestrians take 12 minutes to travel
•30 cars an hour
•20 pedestrians an hour
The cars and pedestrians may also be grouped or evening distributed on the road as well.
This is a simplified version of what I’m trying to achieve, but i need it simple so I can explain this to my non-mathematical boss. It’s so we can make an argument that safety is at risk with a proposed new development which will increase pedestrians and vehicles on this road.
I already have a method, I just want others views on this.
Thanks
