| Research Abstract |
This study analyses pedestrian route choice behavior for integrated pedestrian information system architecture. The results of this study include:
(1) Verifying the assumptions including that pedestrians favor the straight movement at an intersection where alternative paths are of equal length, and prefer to choose a route to minimize the angle between the route and line OD, this study develops a pedestrian route choice model in grid networks.
(2) Since in order to analyze pedestrian behavior, precise street network data are indispensable. This study develops a system which can make the network using traditional maps.
(3) The concept of energy metabolism makes it possible to evaluate pedestrian facilities including pedestrian supporting systems such as escalators and moving walks. Considering energy metabolism, this study makes a quantitative analysis of effect of the pedestrian supporting systems.
(4) This study develops a method to assess the level of service of pedestrian streets from viewpoints of disabled persons.
(5) Based on the findings described above, this study discusses a direction how to integrate the current pedestrian information system.
