Abstract

This paper presents the iterative approach taken in the design of a sensor network for the purpose of evaluating pedestrian facility design. Specifically, sensors are to be used to measure pedestrian flows in a network of pedestrian walkways. Data collected by the sensors will be employed in agent-based pedestrian simulations for the visualisation and analysis of pedestrian flows. Using Fruin’s (1971) Level-of-Service criteria, pedestrian flows will be evaluated to determine if they meet the requirements set out by the regulatory authorities for adequate pedestrian facility design.
