Older pedestrian characteristics for use in highway design. by Knoblauch, Richard L.(CARDINAL)311186; Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center.(CARDINAL)286897;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 115-122).Introduction -- An analysis of the older pedestrian's task and related motor, sensory, perceptual, cognitive and behavioral factors -- Problem identification activities -- Field studies of pedestrian walking speed, pedestrian startup time, and pedestrian stride length -- Development of recommended changes to highway design and operational practices -- Appendix A: A description of the pedestrian's task -- References.The objective of this project was to develop traffic planning and engineering guidelines for the design of pedestrian facilities that are sensitive to the needs of older pedestrians. A detailed task analysis and literature review were conducted to identify the aspects of the pedestrian's tasks that are difficult for older persons, including motor, sensory, perceptual, cognitive, and behavioral factors. Several activities were undertaken to identify specific problems experienced by older pedestrians that could be addressed by changes in design standards and operational practices. These activities included analysis of accident exposure data, a survey of older pedestrians, focus group discussions, and a survey of practitioners. It was determined that older pedestrians experience difficulties at signalized intersections and often do not have sufficient time to cross. A field study was conducted to determine the walking speed, startup time, and stride length of older pedestrians. More than 7,000 pedestrians in 4 cities were observed in order to measure these parameters. Specific recommendations for changes to highway design and operational practices are described.

Blood moons : decoding the imminent heavenly signs / by Biltz, Mark,1956-(CARDINAL)406426;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 174-175) and index.From the beginning, in Genesis, God declared He specifically created the sun and the moon to be used for signs. These heavenly bodies would be used as signals of coming dramatic historical events when the Creator of the universe would intersect with human history. But how do we unlock the code to interpret the signals? The key is found in the riveting new book, Blood Moons by Pastor Mark Biltz. In 2007 Pastor Biltz first discovered the correlation between when blood moons fell on feast days and key historical world events. He found the divine link between prophecy, heavenly signs, historical events, and when they intersect.
