NEWS: Pedestrian Television on DISH Satellite
The 101st episode of "Perils For Pedestrians" will be broadcast on
The Universityhouse Channel on Tuesday, March 13. "Perils For
Pedestrians" is a public affairs television series that looks at
problems confronting pedestrians in their communities, and solutions
to those problems from across the United States, and around the
world. John Z Wetmore, host of the series, has interviewed
advocates, engineers, planners, and public officials in all 50 states
and in 9 foreign countries.
Among the stories on Episode 101, Wetmore looks at Intelligent Speed
Adaptation (ISA) in Sweden. ISA is an experimental technology that
helps drivers to stay within the speed limit. ISA could save lives
because vehicle speed is the single most important factor in
pedestrian crash fatality rates.
There are a number of technologies that can be used to limit
speed. They range from an annoying buzzer that goes off whenever the
car is exceeding the local speed limit, to a more sophisticated
mechanism that increases resistance in the gas pedal when the speed
limit is exceeded. Driver acceptance of ISA was surprisingly good.
Wetmore also talks with Ben Ross of the Action Committee for Transit
in Maryland. He travels to Charleston, South Carolina, for Low
Country Connections, a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Active Living
Partnership. And he learns about pedestrian signals from an engineer
in Seattle.
"Perils For Pedestrians" appears on DISH Network Channel 9411, The
Universityhouse Channel, every Tuesday evening at 9:30 PM Eastern
Time, 6:30 PM Pacific Time.
