Pedestrian flow rate is the number of pedestrians passing a point per unit of time, expressed as pedestrians per 15 min or pedestrians per minute pedestrians per hour (p/h) . Point refers to a line of sight across the width of a walkway perpendicular to the pedestrian path. It is a common metric used in […]
Factors affecting pedestrian demand
The demand for pedestrian facilities is influenced by a number of factors of which some of the most important are : Effective walkway width •Unlike vehicles, pedestrians don’t walk in organized lanes so lane concept is applicable to determine the number of pedestrians walking abreast in a given walkway width and the capacity of a […]
Pedestrian Problems : Accidents Circumstances
‘Road Accidents in India’ by Transport Research Wing of Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, and ‘Accidental deaths and suicides in India’ by National Crime Records Bureau of The Ministry of Home Affairs are the only two important Official data sets available in India. These datasets are preliminary base for accident research purposes. Road Accidents […]
Pedestrian Problems
Any person afoot is the definition of Uniform Vehicle Code of pedestrian. Pedestrian Problems Pedestrian problems refer to issues that affect the safety and convenience of people who walk in urban areas. Some common pedestrian problems include: To address these pedestrian problems, cities can implement a variety of measures, including building and maintaining sidewalks and […]
Land-use measures to reduce traffic congestion
What is Traffic Congestion? • A physical phenomenon relating to the manner in which vehicles impede each other’s progression as demand for limited road space approaches full capacity. • A relative phenomenon relating to user expectations vis-à-vis road system performance. The speed–flow relationship The relationship between speed or travel time and flow is fundamental to […]
Travel demand Analysis based on land-use
Travel demand analysis based on land-use is a process of analyzing how land-use patterns affect travel behavior and demand for transportation services. The analysis involves the collection and analysis of data related to land-use and travel patterns to identify the relationships between them. The analysis is typically carried out using a four-step model of travel […]
Trip generation rates of different land uses
Trip generation rates can vary widely depending on the type of land use and other factors such as location, density, and access to transportation modes. Here are some common trip generation rates for different land uses: It’s important to note that these trip generation rates are general guidelines and may not reflect the specific conditions […]
Land Use Impacts on Traffic
Land use factors can have a significant impact on travel behavior, influencing how and why people choose to travel. Some of the key land use factors that can affect travel behavior include: Trip generation rates of different land uses Land use and Transport Planning home page Download Study Notes PDF Land use and Transport Planning.pdf […]
Land development attributes
Variables or attributes used to measure the impact of land use on traffic Density •Site intensity •Gross population, •household density •Net household density •Employment density Retail •service employment density Mix of uses •Percent floor space in office, •retail use Ratio of on-site employees to housing units within 3 miles •Entropy variables (land use balance) •Dissimilarity […]
Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA)
Traffic Impact Assessment or Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) is the process of understanding the effect of the proposed project traffic on the existing surrounding and roads. TIA is helpful in suggesting possibilities for linking the proposed project traffic to external roads with minimum interruption. With the rise in the number of private vehicles over the […]
