 Utilization of behavioral studies in developing the intermodal simulator for the analysis of pedestrian traffic (ISAPT)Lesley Strawderman, Hohyun Lee and John M. Usher Transportation Planning and Technology, 2010, vol. 33, issue 3, 281-295 Abstract: The effective and efficient design of intermodal facilities is highly dependent on the pedestrian use of these facilities. A pedestrian simulation model, intermodal simulator for the analysis of pedestrian traffic (ISAPT), was created to study the impact of facility design on pedestrian behavior. This paper presents results from an empirical study examining the walking behavior of pedestrians in a corridor and how it was used to improve ISAPT. To quantify pedestrian behavior, 20 minutes of video footage from a university building corridor were studied. The travel speed of the 68 pedestrians included in the analysis was normally distributed with an average of 1.00 m/s. The facility had a flow rate of 0.92 ped/min/m and an overall area module of 1.14 m-super-2/ped. To incorporate the findings into ISAPT, the buildings architecture was represented in the simulation. Resource points and barriers, path markers, and pedestrian characteristics were added to the model as well. Future work related to planned empirical studies and modeling strategies are presented.
