TRACK OFSTUDY

it is built in heart of the city which are packed during peak hours

Subways are built on busy roads to reduce traffic congesion and to increase the pedestrian safety

Causes inconvience safety concerns wasted spaces crowd catastrope

Based on how pedestrians in subway station uses the spaces and surrounding envirorment understanding how they proceed from the platform to the exit once they have passed through the ticket gate achieved by syntax theory buiding an virtual subway which is an exact replica of real one and filling it with agent based on observed data

Normal circumstances Emergency situation

Pedestrian donot always move in an optimal path to reach their destination .Pedestrian chooses the path based on thier virtual information available to thier cone of vission.

Quality of underground subway station

Elements of way finding in public envirorment in and out of subway design of subway no.of entry and exit bottlnecks

Factors Effectg Pedestrian

BEHAVIOUR

Pedestrian movement between the spaces such as busstop ,railway station, metro,ticket counter

Pedestrian Behaviour Using

Analysis of pedestrian behaviour using pedestrian data based on observed behaviour

Understanding relationship between hourly pedestrian volume and spatial characteristics urban spatial vitality in subterranean spaces connected to subway analyze the spacial character and their configuration of spaces connected to subway

Analysis of pedestrian behaviour no of agents location of their destinations

Agent set parameters walking speed isovist(view of particular area from particular angle) steps before changing direction to the destination agent stride

2.5 PARAMETERSTO BE CALCULATED

STRIDE

The length of a step is measured by the distance a person's feet travel from the heel of one foot to the heel of the other It is a measurement of how far on average a runner or walker travels ahead with each step

Walking speed refers to the rate at which a person moves forward while walking, usually measured in meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h)

The region that can be viewed from a specific point without any visible obstacles like walls, buildings, or other physical barriers is known as the isovist.

Steps before change in direction need to be calculated with respect to user and their walking speed It is used to analyse the pedestrian movement through spaces according to visual information and human psycology

Total time taken to travel from intial point to final destination it is based on the walking speed , isovist , user characteristics, crowd flow through spaces visual information and obstacles.Average time is calculateed in peak hours.

2.6 PEDESTRIAN DATA AND BEHAVIOUR

Data gathered by counting the no.of people passsing through

Between 8 am and 9am and 6 to 7 pm

Peak hours tend to take shortest from ticket gate to exits

These datas were gathered for 5mins each during peak hours commuters have cleardestination familiar with layout of station data was gathered on 48 gates (28 gates used for study)

In basement level 1

Analysis ou tput considered as most efficient route in subway
