The Varied Experience of Pedestrian Movement in Community Living
The project is about public and private interaction and the experience of the streetscape. It questions how to use the streets in our daily life. How it becomes part of our living space? The space, which is in between public and private life, but not belong to one another. The space which contains …

Parameter search in an agent-based model of pedestrian movement in retail environments
Parameter search in an agent-based model of pedestrian movement in retail environments is part of a research effort by data-driven architecture in the Cognitive Machine Group at the MIT Media Lab. The approach pursued in this thesis is agent-based modeling, with an ultimate goal to use generative …

Computational Model for Pedestrian Movement and Infectious Diseases Spread During Air Travel: A Molecular Dynamics-Like Numerical Approach
… this high-density man-made environment involves pedestrian movement which is generally not taken into account in modeling studies of disease dynamics. This thesis addresses this problem through a multiscale model that combines pedestrian dynamics with stochastic infection spread models. This …

The impact of NMT infrastructure on pedestrian movement in the city: the case of Polokwane City, Limpopo Province, South Africa
… congestion during peak hours, which affects the movement of pedestrians and vehicles. The study aimed to assess the movement of pedestrians in the study corridor within the city centre of Polokwane and the availability of appropriate Non-Motorised Transport infrastructure. The study used the …

Simulation of pedestrian effects on vehicle delay at signalized street intersections
… of this study is to determine the effects of pedestrian movement on vehicle flow at signalized intersections. Specifically, a computer simulation model written in General Purpose Simulation System language was developed to calculate vehicle seconds of delay at two-lane by four-lane street …

A general, context-aware pedestrian trajectory prediction model
… also other moving agents such as cyclists and pedestrians. Pedestrian trajectory prediction is challenging because of the relatively higher number of degrees of freedom in pedestrian movement and absence of uniform rules across different cities and different scenarios within a city. …

Determining the Value of Pedestrian Surfaces in Suburban DC
… the importance of amenities and potential pedestrian routes, but have neglected to identify the importance of pedestrian surfaces such as sidewalks and trails as a proportion of the route traveled, and have typically modeled pedestrian movement using exclusively street or trail centerline …

Exploring Travel Time Reliability Using Bluetooth Data Collection: A Case Study in San Luis Obispo, California
… patterns, transit ridership and reliability, pedestrian movement patterns, and before-after studies of transportation improvements. This thesis investigates the collection and analysis of Bluetooth-enabled travel time data along a multimodal arterial corridor in San Luis Obispo, California. …

Active control of floor vibrations
… motion of very small amplitudes, often caused by pedestrian movement, is sometimes found objectionable by occupants of the building space. Improving an unacceptable floor system's dynamic characteristics after construction can be disruptive, difficult and costly. In search of alternative repair …

Spatial Navigation in Immersive Virtual Environments
Pedestrian movement studies in real environments have shown consistent statistical relationships between ‘configurational’ properties of spatial layouts and movement flows, facilitating prediction of movement from designs. However, these studies are at an aggregate level and say nothing about how …

Urbanism across: new urban ground in Taipei's old city core
… of underground space design that channeled pedestrian movement away from the street can disconnect the city's public space and the trace of local history. Instead, the thesis proposes urban strategies and designs across several scales: human perception, architecture, cultural-scape, and …

Pedestrian environment as an urban indicator : developing a GIS model for measuring pedestrian friendliness
Recently, the pedestrian environment has been recognized as an important factor for sustainable urban development movements such as the New Urbanism (NU) movement and Transit Oriented Development (TOD). Consequently, many pedestrian initiatives have been implemented throughout the US while the …

Machine Learning Simulation of Pedestrians Exploring the Built Environment
… modeling software can effectively simulate pedestrian movement. However, it does not provide other simulations that are critical to the design of architecture such as exploration. Exploratory behavior is especially relevant for architects who seek to predict, to a feasible degree, the …

Discrete Particle Dynamics Models: Computational Aspects And Applications
… point masses in diverse domains such as, pedestrian particles in pedestrian movement modeling and molecules in material science modeling. These dynamic modeling approaches share a commonality in computational approach where a series of ordinary differential equations are solved for the …

Node and Place, a study on the spatial process of railway terminus area redevelopment in central London
… transport nodes to also function as local pedestrian nodes. This is a complex design task, made more difficult by the fact that termini, although often located in strategic inner urban areas, are also frequently scarred by railway structures and adjacent to large wastelands or blighted …

Assessment of development form and its impact on the modal split and trip generation for low-income commercial developments
… standards which focus on private vehicle movement and networks planning which is geared for mobility, whereas South Africa and in particular metropolitan Cape Town has unique characteristic due to the City Planning Structure which was shaped by a flawed political system. The objective of …
