Data on three pedestrian flow parameters, namely, pedestrian flow, density, and speed, were collected separately through recorded tapes. Pedestrian flow–density–speed relationships for each kind of walking facility were developed. Combined with the investigation of walking behavior, pedestrian flow characteristics on various walking facilities are compared with each other, particularly for the flow–density and speed–density relationships. The collected data and the established relationships could be used as a basis for modifying the design criteria of walking facilities in Chinese metro stations and could be helpful in improving research on the pedestrian flow theory.
