Measuring Safety Index for Pedestrian Path by Using AHP-GIS

Using GIS for Measuring Transit Stop Accessibility Considering Actual Pedestrian Road Network

Bus stops attain their importance to the transit service from being the main points of contact between the passenger and the bus. Considering spatial attributes, both the location and the spacing of bus stops significantly affect transit service performance and passenger satisfaction, as they influence travel time in addition to their role in ensuring reasonable accessibility. Knowing that ever...

Measuring aggregate process performance using AHP

When one undertakes a benchmarking study, it is quite typical to collect performance data on a set of business processes from a variety of organizations. While one can compare efficiency on a process-by-process level, how can one compare the overall efficiency of one organization versus another using this process-level data? This note presents a methodology that combines tournament ranking and ...

Gis Techniques for Mapping Urban Ventilation, Using Frontal Area Index and Least Cost Path Analysis

This paper presents the urban wind ventilation mapping from building frontal area index on the example of urbanised city, Hong Kong. The calculations of frontal area index for each uniform 100m grid cell are based on three dimensional building databases at eight different wind directions. The frontal area index were then correlated with land use classification map, and the results indicate that...

Measuring Unsafe Pedestrian Behavior Using Observational Data

Florida has a severe problem with pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities. Recent trends show that Florida’s pedestrian fatality rate is almost double the national average. Traditional safety programs rely on crash data to develop safety campaigns or countermeasures to increase safety. Since crash data are not readily available and a long time has to pass before meaningful data is collected, a “ris...
