Defining a Digital System for the Pedestrian Network as a Conceptual Implementation Framework

Abstract

In cities today, the digitalization of mobility is one of the most crucial tools that link each single mobility service providers (e.g., ride sharing, public transportation, air travel, etc.) to users. Based on the smart pedestrian network model, the purpose of this study is to initially provide the requirements towards the digitalization of a pedestrian network model and subsequently to draft an institutional framework towards the effective implementation and management of pedestrian mobility that will develop/create a pedestrian network as a new structure in the city. The methodology is applied in three phases, with three separate approaches: “desk approach” for a data gathering standard that is knowledge-based and connected to walkability; a “digitalization approach” for citizen and stakeholder participation in policy co-creation; and a “business approach”. A business approach is defined as a set of operations that takes one or more types of input and produces a customer-valued outcome. In this case, customers are citizens and the business approach by applying a digital system is assessing policies and finding/defining an optimized combination of shared applicable/effective policies to implement the pedestrian network. By boosting an innovative linkage of these three phases, digitalization of the pedestrian network has great potential to improve the walkability planning process and therefore to create more sustainable and livable urban spaces.

Intelligent Application of Digital Shared Management System in Journal Resource Integration

“…According to the above calculation, the semantic similarity of journal resources can be derived as follows: (12) Where denotes the weighted weights of the metadata items.…”

“…Jabbari, M et al based on the existing pedestrian road network model. The digital modeling took urban residents as the main body and constructed a multi-level pedestrian system with the help of digital technology [12]. Rajabi, E et al made e-learning content public on the Internet, which is conducive to achieving the sharing and reuse of teaching resources, and enhances the interoperability of data in the network.…”

Understanding Spatial Cognition for Designing Pedestrian Wayfinding Systems

“…Moreover, these systems can play a relevant role in promoting active mobility and thus contributing with benefits to local economy and city life (López-Lambas, Sánchez, J. and Alonso 2021; Salazar Miranda et al 2021). More than just helping tourists to find major destinations, high-quality navigation tools change the behavior of users, promoting walkability for the city's residents and visitors (Jabbari, Ahmadi and Ramos 2022;Keliikoa et al 2018;Yun, Kang, and Lee 2018). Therefore, a modal shift improves sustainability and public health, encouraging exploration, longer stays in public spaces, and pedestrian traffic.…”
