Abstract

The pedestrian level of service (PLOS) is a measure that quantifies walkway comfort levels. PLOS defined into six categories (A, B, C, D, E, and F) each level defines the range of values, for example, a good level (best traffic condition) is defined with the letter A until reaching the worst level, F (high congestion). This article aims to define the PLOS on sidewalks considering walking conditions in Tangier City (Morocco). Sidewalks are analyzed using video recording in the urban center of Tangier City. The collected data are pedestrian flow and effective sidewalk width. Each level contains a range of values that corresponds to the pedestrian flow that defines the level of service. Clustering techniques are used to identify the threshold of each level using a self-organizing map (SOM). The results are different from those obtained with other methods because pedestrian traffic differs from country to country.

Abstract

Mobility plans are one of the most important management tools for city development and an important factor for society and economic growth, where pedestrians are the end goal of any mobility plan. Human behavior is generally unpredictable, and many attempts have been interested at pedestrians' mobility in urban environments, both microscopic and macroscopic (flow, density, and speed) levels. The objective of pedestrian traffic flow prediction is to predict the number of pedestrians at the next moment. Assisting operators and city managers in making decisions in urban environments such as emergency support systems, and quality-of-service evaluation. This study aims to model and predict bi-directional pedestrian flow in a commercial avenue, based on two essential stages, data collection through video recording over two months (pedestrian flow) and data analysis using machine learning algorithms that provide a lower error and a higher accuracy rate. Two metrics were selected as basic measures to evaluate the model performances, root mean square error (RMSE) and coefficient of determination R2. Artificial neural network (ANN) gives a little better performance and fitness.
