Architecture Arts & Humanities Computer Science Computer Science, Interdisciplinary Applications Science & Technology Technology
To facilitate the increase of urban cycling and electronic personal mobility device (ePMD) ridership, pedestrian footpaths have become shared spaces for riders to traverse and this has raised safety concerns regarding the risk of collisions. This study aims to provide a method of assessment for a network of shared pathways within a building estate, via the analysis of a graph network generated from Building Information Modelling (BIM). First, path width is used as a marker for the capacity of the pathway, and modes of mobility for riders are determined for each segment across the network. Using betweenness centrality, high-traffic zones are mapped, and potential pedestrian-rider conflict zones are highlighted. Finally, recommendations are made as to which segments should be widened for an impactful improvement to the capacity of the network.
