Automated Pedestrian Data-collection and Flow Analysis in Public Spaces

Automated Collection of Pedestrian Data Using Computer Vision Techniques

Pedestrian data collection is critical for the planning and design of pedestrian facilities. Most pedestrian data collection efforts involve field observations or observer-based video analysis. These manual observations are time consuming, limited in coverage, resource intensive and error prone. Automated video analysis which involves the use of computer vision techniques can overcome many of t...

Automated Pavement Distress Data Collection and Analysis:

This paper describes a 3-D automated pavement distress data collection and analysis system based on NRC’s Biris sensor technology. The paper introduces the problem to be solved, the selected design criteria, and the adopted solution to monitor the quality of road surfaces. The system geometry for the acquisition of the threedimensional coordinates of pavement surface distresses is presented. Mu...

Models of Pedestrian Adaptive Behaviour in Hot Outdoor Public Spaces

Current studies of outdoor thermal comfort are limited to calculating thermal indices or interviewing people. The first method does not take into account the way people use this space, whereas the second one is limited to one particular study area. Simulating people’s thermal perception along with their activities in public urban spaces will help architects and city planners to test their conce...
