Utilizing Video Footage for the Analysis of Pedestrian Behavior
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an analysis of pedestrian traffic performance from an empirical study. Video footage from a university building corridor was used to quantify pedestrian behavior for inclusion in a pedestrian simulation model. A coordinate conversion technique that maps images in the footage onto a real-world coordinate system was used for data collection. Pedestrian characteristics such as average speed, density, and flow rate were measured to examine traffic performance. The impact of gender and group size on pedestrian speed, as well as trajectory change and spacing, were tested and reviewed to verify the influence of environment on pedestrian behavior.

Extracting Microscopic Pedestrian Characteristics from Video Data
Insight into walking behavior is essential for theory and model development describing the behavior of individual pedestrians. In turn, microscopic pedestrian simulation models can be used to test and compare different infrastructure designs, both from the perspective of efficiency and safety. To calibrate these microscopic models, detailed data is required. However, currently such data is not ...

Pedestrians are the most vulnerable road users. For evaluating and modifying pedestrian safety in unsignalized crosswalks,the first important issue is to identify and explore factors affecting the interaction behavior of pedestrians andvehicles in conflict areas. By analyzing those factors and determining how they affect road user's behavior, we canrepresent the plans and proc...
متن کاملKinects and Human Kinetics: A New Approach for Studying Crowd Behavior
Modeling crowd behavior relies on accurate data of pedestrian movements at a high level of detail. Imaging sensors such as cameras provide a good basis for capturing such detailed pedestrian motion data. However, currently available computer vision technologies, when applied to conventional video footage, still cannot automatically unveil accurate motions of groups of people or crowds from the ...
متن کاملA Study of Pedestrian Movement on Crosswalks Based on Chaos Theory
Walking, as an important transportation mode, plays a large part in urban transportation systems. This mode is of great importance for planners and decision-makers because of its impact on environmental and health aspects of communities. However, this mode is so complex in nature that makes it difficult to study or model. On the other hand, chaos theory studies complex dynamical nonlinear syste...
