Comfortability level of pedestrian facilities is practically implied by the pedestrian level of service (i.e., PLOS), which defines the performance level of pedestrian facilities. The level is set by applying certain criteria, which may influence by the heterogeneity and the pedestrian behavior. On the other side, the growth attention is given to the inclusive pedestrian environment that pay a great consideration to the persons with disabilities (PWDs), including the visual impairment person (i.e., VIP). Moreover, the universal design of the public facilities, which has minimum barriers for the PWDs needs to be promoted more, to attain better accessibility for the public. This paper then proposes a method for calculating of PLOS by taking into account the VIP perspective to the pedestrian facilities performance.

Abstract. As port performance is becoming correlative to national competitiveness, the issue of port performance evaluation has significantly raised. Port performances can simply be indicated by port service levels to the ship (e.g., throughput, waiting for berthing etc.), as well as the utilization level of equipment and facilities within a certain period. The performances evaluation then can be used as a tool to develop related policies for improving the port's performance to be more effective and efficient. However, the evaluation is frequently conducted based on deterministic approach, which hardly captures the nature variations of port parameters. Therefore, this paper presents a stochastic microsimulation model for investigating the impacts of port parameter variations to the port performances. The variations are derived from actual data in order to provide more realistic results. The model is further developed using MATLAB and Simulink based on the queuing theory.
