| Research Abstract |
This study quantitatively analyzed effects of through traffic exclusion on the typical road network pattern, and elucidated the efficient street pattern considering trade-off between accessibility and exclusion of through traffic.
We figured out the characteristic of travel time in the demand responsive transport (DRT) compared to the type of fixed route (e.g., railway, bus) and the type of free route (e.g., private automobile, bicycle), and suggested the condition of demand density where DRT is useful, and the optimal system in accordance to the population density. We also analyzed the distributional characteristic of pedestrian spaces in around areas of major stations by using GIS based on the pedestrian network database. Furthermore, we examined the necessary quantity of pedestrian spaces to accommodate the flow of people congregating in the neighborhood of stations.
