Patterns of Pedestrian Movement in London's Railway Terminus Areas
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This chapter is an empirical study and statistical analysis of pedestrian movement in London's railway terminus areas. The main question is how the terminus structures as well as their local urban grid structures differently influence pedestrian movement around the station buildings. Its main objective is to examine the effect of urban spatial configuration on movement (the natural movement) in each station area whereby the influences of railway terminus as 'attractor' and 'negative attractor' first appear to predominantly exist. The empirical and statistical analyses in this chapter are to complete a series of detailed study on the urban morphological properties and their relationship on space uses of all eleven London's railway terminus areas by finally adding in precisely detailed information regarding their station-related as well as grid-related movement patterns.

This research paper lays stress on philosophies of human desire. All the human being has some psychical need in addition to physical needs. And to satisfy the psychical needs, there is a need for stimulants, more in case of exclusive pedestrian precincts. Having exclusively Pedestrian precincts/Cores in city design draws its inspiration from the fact that public zones, accessible to majority of...
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...
متن کاملA Pedestrian Tracking Using the Association of Cellular Automata and a Neural Network
⎯ This paper describes a pedestrian tracking system that uses a new movement prediction technique based on an association of Cellular Automata (CA) and a Neural Network (NN). The proposed prediction technique aims to learn the behaviour of pedestrian movement directly from images. A CA is applied to capture the pedestrian movement. The derived CA patterns are then used to train the NN. The trai...

The occurrences of accidents on the railways are inevitable in today’s world and the factors which may cause it, except the atmospheric and accidental ones, are identified and preventable as well. Therefore, these factors can be investigated and useful actions can be performed in order to reduce these accidents. The main impetus of the present research is the statistical analysis of the causes ...
