TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Method to estimate the speed and density of the pedestrian sidewalk JO - Journal of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies A1 - Tipakornkiat, Chalat A1 - Kim, Hyunmyung A1 - Limanond, Thirayoot SP - 1100 EP - 1114 VL - 9 IS - N2 - This paper describes the models of fundamental characteristics for pedestrian flow movement. The actual data were investigated in Bangkok, Thailand. A sidewalk in the CBD in Bangkok is separated into six sub-sections in order to model the density-speed relationships. Nonlinear weights of instant density are assumed equal for each case for this study. The authors found that multi sub-sections analysis increase accuracy of speed-density-travel time relationship more than single section analysis but there is limitation of section separation. The final section of sidewalk does not give a significant impact on the speed of the whole section.
