Abstract

Very frequently during issuing opinions of occurred traffic accident, are used statistical material depicting certain relationships affecting its occurrence or process. The article presents the results of studies which aim was to determine the speed of pedestrians movement in traffic. As research material were chosen underage people of school age from 7 to 18 years. Here has been studied different ways of people movement, starting from slow step, by normal till the fast move. The results were summarized according to the sex and age of the respondents. The resulting values of movement speed can be useful during the spatio-temporal analysis carried out by forensic experts during issuing opinions of occurred road accidents involving underage pedestrians.
