“…A macroscopic model, which strikes an appropriate balance between the needs of pedestrians and vehicle drivers, describes the problem of scheduling traffic lights in a scheduling framework [4][5][6][7]. More convenient and safer pedestrian conditions were created by expanding the scope of conventional button control methods [8][9][10][11]. Many transportation authorities have responded to traffic flow concerns in recent decades by building "footbridges" on significant roads and lower-velocity streets.…”

Currently, in all large and small cities in Kazakhstan, residential and public buildings are being actively built. It should be noted that the quantitative indicators of the construction of residential facilities prevail. The method applied to building residential facilities at the point and quarter increases the population density in urban areas. Increasing the number of residents requires assessing the levels of comfort for pedestrians at different speeds, the safety of sidewalks, and ensuring the accessibility of infrastructure facilities to people. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the quality of comfortable and safe conditions of pedestrian roads as a part of a district of Almaty. The assessment is based on the study of the presence and quality of elements and objects in the structures of transport roads and pedestrian sidewalks, and the determining level of pedestrian comfort is also applied (PCL). As a result of the study, the most problematic streets, the quality of pedestrian accessibility of extensive infrastructure facilities in each residential sector, and the main shortcomings and proposals for their elimination will be identified. The data obtained because of the study can be used in reconstruction, and urban area spatial planning concepts, allowing people to walk to most daily services and institutions, creating maximum opportunities to walk, reducing dependence on road transport, and contributing to the daily life of the community.

“…Data collection methods including self-report questionnaires (Cambon et al, 2009;Dommes et al, 2015), video observation surveys (Diependaele, 2019;Zhu et al, 2021b), computer vision and automated tracking (Papadimitriou, 2012), simulated experiments (Calvi et al, 2020), global positioning systems (Lassarre et al, 2012), and revealed preference surveys (Arellana et al, 2022) have been adopted to examine the walking behaviour of pedestrians. Moreover, factors including road design, walking environment, and traffic conditions that affect pedestrian route choices have been identified (Garrod et al, 2002;Perdomo et al, 2014;Beitel et al, 2018).…”

Waiting for signalized crossing or walking to footbridge/underpass? Examining the effect of weather using stated choice experiment with panel mixed random regret minimization approach

“…Furthermore, dense vegetation and tall barriers may sway the decisions of a sizable number of pedestrians. Because the effect of the availability of pedestrian signals on the pedestrian's decision to cross at a specific location was relatively high, proper traffic control can further encourage pedestrian crossings at designated locations [36].…”

Serviceability Analysis of Pedestrian Overhead Bridges and Underpasses

A grade-separated crossing allows a bicycle/pedestrian to continue over or under a barrier without conflict with a vehicle. However, the serviceability of these facilities is compromised in underdeveloped countries, including Pakistan. This research examines the effectiveness of pedestrian bridges and underpasses in terms of their usage by pedestrians. A total of 80,017 pedestrian crossings were observed at four sites (3 overhead bridges and one underpass) for four weeks (one week per site) using manual and video photography. The data about age, gender, and serviceability of each pedestrian was collected and analyzed using the chi-square test, t-test, and descriptive analysis. The study site selection was based on different characteristics, i.e., the number of lanes, type of median barriers, and type of facility (bridge/underpass). The analysis shows that most of the pedestrians (71.83%) did not use the crossing facilities, resulting in the poor serviceability of these structures. A comparison between bridges and underpasses also reveals that underpass usage (62.5%) is statistically more significant than bridge usage (11.62%). There is an effect of age (p<0.001) and gender (p<0.001) on the serviceability of these facilities as well, with pedestrians aged more than 25 years old and females using the facilities more than their counterparts. The study also provides implications for the effect of barriers and the height of facilities on the serviceability of these facilities. The number of lanes and the presence of a median barrier, as well as the height of the facility (number of steps), are the primary factors influencing the serviceability of grade-separated pedestrian crossings.
