The significance of developing shared road infrastructure in cities throughout the world is growing. Driven by the need to improve traffic management in ways that enhance multiple sustainability outcomes, developing the tools needed to test shared space proposals is becoming more sought after by responsible agencies. This paper reviews approaches to simulation modeling focused on representing and assessing shared spaces, culminating in a new approach presented here called the Integrated Pedestrian–Vehicle Model (IPVM)—a novel framework that combines social force models, car-following models and other algorithms from the robotics domain to better describe both mobility and activity within a shared space. The IPVM recognizes that while shared spaces are inherently multimodal, past efforts have tended to use pedestrian models as a starting point. Most consider the interaction of pedestrians with other pedestrians and static road infrastructure. Shared space models are generally microscopic models that integrate a social force model with a variety of car-following models to describe the interaction between vehicles and pedestrians. However, there is little research and few practical methodologies that address the long-range conflict avoidance between vehicles and pedestrians. This aspect is crucial for accurately representing the desire lines and pathways of pedestrians and active transport users in complex environments like shared spaces. The IPVM describes and visualizes shared road infrastructure with an absence of separating infrastructure between users and outputs. It generates metrics that can be used in conjunction with the latest evaluation approaches to gauge the sustainability credentials of shared space road proposals. Enhanced modeling of shared space solutions can lead to more effective implementation, which can potentially reduce the presence of cars, increase public and active transport use and lead to a more sustainable transport system.

“…SFM and VO methods have been directly compared in the context of right-of-way [46]. An asymmetric SFM and an RVO algorithm (ORCA) have recently been combined to model unidirectional pedestrian flow [49].…”
