“…Pedestrian has to deviate laterally to avoid sidewalk vendor and its customer while maintaining a personal space from opposing pedestrians. The implication of this finding could be a decline in pedestrian perceived PLOS with presence of sidewalk vendor because pedestrian perceived PLOS decline in with an increase in number of evasive actions by a pedestrian [13]. The result also supports previous recommendations to leave a continuous clear pedestrian path while allocating a vending stall [28].…”

“…A study in Lima, Peru, used a multivariate model and showed that the number of sidewalk vendors is significantly correlated with pedestrian road crossing crash risk [9]. A study conducted Seoul, Korea used a multiple regression technique to identify contribution of number of pedestrians evasive actions from a video observation to perceived PLOS from field interview [13]. The study defined five categories of evasive movements that may vary based on pedestrian traffic flow [13].…”

“…However the application of this study to walkways with vendors is limited as the study considered only evasive action among pedestrians and excludes obstacles using the effective width approach. Pedestrian evasive action is a change in walking speed or lateral adjustment of walking path to maintain their personal space [13], [14]. However pedestrian evasive action could also be a result difference in pedestrian desired walking speed which for example lead to a move in lateral directions to overtake slow pedestrians [15][16][17][18].…”

Street vendors use sidewalks to display goods and services. The reduction of sidewalk space by sidewalk vending activity forces pedestrians to take evasive action by changing walking speed and/or direction. Based on previous qualitative studies pedestrian evasive movements are related to pedestrian level of service and sharing carriageways. The aim of this paper was to investigate the effect of typical sidewalk vendor on average pedestrian walking speed and lateral position. The study used a field observation followed by a controlled walking experiment to study pedestrian behavior in the presence of typical sidewalk vendor. A univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) of pedestrian trajectories, extracted from a walking experiment, showed that the average pedestrian lateral position and walking speed were significantly affected by the presence of a sidewalk vendor, pedestrian flow rate and the interaction effect of the two (p<0.05). The effect size also varied with the width of a vending stall and vendor's location relative to the pedestrian's desired trajectory. The results are consistent with previous observations and findings about pedestrian sidewalk behavior in the presence of sidewalk vendor. The findings may contribute in designing and or monitoring sidewalk vending activities.

“…Previously, studies regarding Pedestrian Interactive Behaviours (PIBs) including overtaking behaviour [1][2][3][4][5], evasive behaviour [6][7][8] and weaving behaviour [9][10] have been conducted on walkways. Previous studies mainly focused on two aspects of PIBs: (1) distances necessary for taking behaviours to occur (micro level);…”

The objective of this study is to analyse characteristics of Pedestrian Interactive Behaviours (PIBs) in order to propose a revised pedestrian walkway Level of Service (LOS) in China. Field data on overtaking and evasive behaviours were collected at a metro station walkway in Shanghai, China to calculate macro and micro indicators. Occurrence intensities of these two PIBs initially increased with moderate density and later decreased with high density that reduced available space. PIBs were also analysed in terms of sideways behaviours to account for the varying difficulties of PIBs at different densities. It was found that available space for PIBs was the main factor contributing to the intensity features. Moreover, the different space demands of the two PIBs resulted in different features between them. Finally, a revised pedestrian walkway LOS was proposed based on the macro and micro characteristics of PIBs in China.

SUMMARYThis paper presents the results of a study conducted to examine the characteristics of human-centered design and pedestrians' perceptions of street design features. The main emphasis was to determine the existence of empirical evidence that human-centered design increases pedestrian satisfaction levels and enhances community walkability. The following approach was applied in the study: (i) the existing research concerning walkable community and pedestrian facility designs was reviewed; (ii) survey data from pedestrian interviews regarding urban streets as well as the detailed geometric features of the interview sites were gathered; (iii) statistical analysis to determine whether pedestrians actually feel more satisfied when they walk in areas with human-centered design was conducted based on actual pedestrian interview scores for various street design features; and (iv) major design features to increase pedestrian satisfaction levels were identified. The study results show that pedestrians perceived planting strips as the most important design element that would increase the satisfaction scores whereas they perceived the presence of driveways and the number of vehicle lanes as design elements that that would diminish the scores. Overall, the valuable findings of this research provide evidence of the various effects of the application of human-centered design and improve our understanding of walkable communities.
