Abstract |

The proper estimation of pedestrian speed-flow-density relationships is of vital importance, because such Relationships play an important role in developing useful tools for analyzing and improving pedestrian facilities in Terms of efficiency and safety. Data collected at Mehsana city at five different routes are analyzed to study the influencing factors and their effect on pedestrian walking speed. The results are compared in five routes of Mehsana city with respect to age and gender of pedestrians, cell phone usage, baggage and accompaniment. Further analysis was conducted on the mean walking speed of pedestrians with regard to several factors. Gender, age, and the group size were found to significantly influence the pedestrian mean walking speed. |
