Hrybeniuk S. Rationalization of a unified constructive pedestrian safety system

This dissertation focuses on developing an innovative pedestrian safety system for city and highway crossings. In the introduction, the relevance of the topic is substantiated, and the research's objectives, scientific novelty, and practical significance are defined, along with a general overview of the work. Chapter 1 provides an analysis of the current research on pedestrian safety in Ukraine and Europe, with a particular focus on pedestrian crossings. Chapter 2 is dedicated to developing the comprehensive Road Safety Pedestrian Security System (RS PSS), composed of modular components adapted to various urban infrastructure needs. Chapter 3 discusses the methodology for mathematical modeling of vehicle collisions with bollards and refuge elements to improve pedestrian and traffic safety. Chapter 4 details the technology for manufacturing and assembling prefabricated reinforced concrete pedestrian safety system (PSS) elements, specifically refuges and pedestrian slabs. Installation procedures are outlined, along with quality control criteria for finished products, including verification of geometric parameters and compliance with strength standards. Chapter 5 focuses on the development and implementation of new pedestrian safety systems using metal bollards.
