PEDESTRAIN MOVEMENT
A GIS ANALYSIS TO DETERMINE PEDESTRAIN FLOWS THROUGH A MASTERPLAN OR URBAN AREA
Elevate pedestrian experiences and create more pedestrian-friendly environments with our Pedestrian Movement Analysis services. We specialise in analysing pedestrian movement and demand across study areas, enabling us to provide valuable insights for planning comfortable and efficient pedestrian routes.
Using cutting-edge modeling tools, we accurately assess pedestrian flows, considering factors such as footfall, density, and patterns of movement. By understanding how pedestrians interact with the built environment, we can identify high-demand areas and potential bottlenecks, allowing us to propose targeted improvements to enhance pedestrian comfort and safety.
Benefits of using Pedestrian Movement Analysis in Masterplanning
Efficient space allocation: through pedestrian movement analysis optimises urban areas based on how pedestrians use them. By studying movement patterns, planners can allocate resources effectively, creating wider sidewalks, pedestrian plazas, and direct pathways to enhance flow and minimise congestion. This data-driven approach maximises usability and improves the overall pedestrian experience.
Safety and accessibility: Pedestrian movement analysis enhances safety and accessibility by pinpointing areas of concern and implementing targeted interventions. It identifies safety risks, informs traffic calming measures, and improves infrastructure. It also guides the creation of accessible pathways, ensuring inclusivity for all pedestrians. Through this analysis, planners create a safer and more accessible environment.
Enhanced user experience: Pedestrian movement analysis enhances the user experience by tailoring the urban environment to meet pedestrians' needs and desires. By optimising layout, amenities, and design, the experience becomes more enjoyable and satisfying. This may include adding seating areas, green spaces, public art, and other elements that promote comfort and engagement.
Data-driven decision making: Data-driven decision making in pedestrian movement analysis informs effective urban planning. It utilises pedestrian data to identify trends and guide infrastructure design, traffic management, and resource allocation. By relying on empirical evidence, data-driven decisions lead to efficient and successful outcomes for pedestrian environments.
