Abstract A detailed re-analysis of available pedestrian accident data was utilized to define three sets of pedestrian safety public information and education (PI&E) messages. These messages were then produced and field tested. The objectives and theoretical background for the study are addressed in Volume I. The messages directed at child pedestrian accidents and using an animated character named "Willy Whistle" are covered in Volume II. Two sets of adult-oriented messages are the focus of this Volume. The child messages were successful in reducing pedestrian accidents in three test cities. The adult messages also yielded some positive results. It was concluded that these messages are viable pedestrian accident countermeasures. The success of these messages leads to the additional conclusion that PI&E, in general, can be an effective countermeasure modality for modifying simple behaviors if adequate exposure is obtained. 17. 18.

CONTRACT NUMBER 17 Washington Street DOT-HS-4-00952 Norwalk CT 06854 REPORT TITLE REPORT DATE Experimental Field Test of Proposed Pedestrian Safety Messages (3 Volumes) November 1983 REPORT AUTHOR(S) Richard D. Blomberg, David F. Preusser, Allen Hale, William A. Leaf The overall objective of the project reported herein was to utilize the pedestrian accident data collected and analyzed on a previous NHTSA study (Snyder and Knoblauch, 1971) to structure the content, presentation and evaluation of public education messages designed to reduce specific types of pedestrian accidents. A predecessor study (Blomberg and Preusser, 1975) had shown that members of the population at risk for various accident types would adopt safer street crossing behaviors if these behaviors were simple and convenient and if the target audience understood the need for these safer behaviors. It was the task of the present effort to extend these findings to "real world" situations by actually executing the specific behavioral advice in a form suitable for mass media presentation, distributing the produced messages in test markets and assessing the results of the process. In order to guide both the message development and the assessment activities, a model of the process by which public education produces an accident reduction was developed and followed. This model involves seven sequential steps beginning with knowledge of the problem and proceeding through development of a message content, media production, transmission, changes in knowledge or attitudes and behavioral change to the achievement of accident reduction. To accomplish the steps of the model with minimum losses between steps, this project utilized a multi-disciplinary team of researchers, advertising specialists and media producers, all of whom were guided by the in-depth accident data of Snyder and Knoblauch (1971). By grouping accident cases with similar precipitating and predisposing factors, Snyder and Knoblauch (1971) were able to define and name over 30 specific accident types. Since these types were defined as involving specific behavioral errors on the part of drivers and pedestrians, it seemed reasonable and potentially effective to attempt to combat specific pedestrian accident types by altering their identified unsafe behaviors. It was also reasoned that the accident types themselves described situations, e.g., crossing in front of a car which had stopped to allow the pedestrian to cross, with which the population at risk could relate and during which they might be convinced to substitute safer behaviors or omit unsafe actions. The accident types with the greatest frequency of occurrence appeared to be the logical candidates from which to choose initial countermeasure targets. The types selected as targets for this study from among the types with the greatest frequency were: (Co"tinee on additional Pages) *PREPARED FOR THE OEPARTKNT OF TRANSPORTATION, NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION UNDER CONTRACT NO.: DOT-HS-4-00952 .

The pedestrian is typically an adult. o Multiple Threat (MT)--which involves a pedestrian, usually an adult, crossing in front of a vehicle (which has yielded to him or her) being struck by an overtaking vehicle whose driver's vision was blocked by the stopped car. Dart-Outs represent about 39% of all pedestrian accidents. VTM crashes account for about another 13% and Multiple Threats, though highly variable in incidence from city-to-city, can account for up to 10% of a locale's pedestrian. crashes.

As such, we have great interest in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to permit all AM stations to broadcast an all-digital signal using the HD Radio in-band on-channel (IBOC) mode known as MA3 on a voluntary basis (“Notice”), and we offer the following comments in support of this petition. I. Benefits of All-Digital AM Transmissions It has been well established for more than a decade of operation by many of our stations in the MA1 hybrid digital mode that AM stations stand to gain a great deal from digital operation. Greatly improved audio quality is at the forefront, with audio bandwidth comparable to FM broadcasts, stereo audio and receiver display of title/artist or program title information. When a receiver locks in the digital mode to one of our stations, particularly one playing music, as the receiver blends from analog to digital, the contrast is dramatic. The highs and lows of the audio open up, the stereo image widens out, and the noise that seems to be ever present on almost any AM frequency disappears. Listeners experiencing this effect for the first time are quite often amazed at how good an AM broadcast can sound in this mode.
