Abstract:

An investigation into the nature of pedestrian cross flows in corridors at right angles to one another is described. This study was undertaken by using time-lapse photography to determine the effect of a minor pedestrian flow crossing a major pedestrian flow. Such cross flows of pedestrians are common in major activity centers and in special event transportation systems, such as universities, bus stations, art galleries, museums, and places of entertainment. The results of this study were compared with those obtained from theoretical gap and collision analysis. The comparisons were found to match closely. A design criterion for facilities where cross flows of pedestrians occur is developed based on the data gathered from the films and the theoretical analysis. (Author)
