Abstract

Pedestrian performance measurement has generally used the average values of pedestrian volumes and speeds from a sample, although each individual's pedestrian behavior of the sample is mainly affected by his/her socio-economic and physical characteristics. In particular, if such individual characteristics of the sample have wide variations, the average values are hard to be representative. In this respect, this study found that a platoon of pedestrians had a major effect on their pedestrian flows on sidewalks. The more platoons was mixed on pedestrian roads, the lower pedestrian flow rate was. The indexes such as a pedestrian flow rate and an occupancy space are typically calculated by pedestrian volumes in a given period of time regardless of the existence of a platoon. However, it is plausible that a pedestrian speed and a level of pedestrian congestion can be different under the equal amount of pedestrian volumes. Therefore, this study suggested criteria for determining level of service for pedestrian considering platoon effects and confirmed that two places had different pedestrian LOSs because of the platoon effects, even if they showed the same pedestrian flow rate.

보행자 행태는 개인의 사회 경제적 환경과 신체적 특성으로 인해 매우 다양하게 나타나기 때문에 보행 지표는 다양한 표본을 통해 얻게 된 결과의 평균적인 값을 활용하게 된다. 그러나 개별 보행자의 보행 특성이 매우 다르다면 평균 값 또한 대표성을 갖기 힘들다. 본 연구에서 영상촬영을 통해 보행자를 관찰한 결과, 보행로 상에 뒤섞인 군집(platoon)이 보행 흐름에 큰 영향을 끼친다는 사실을 발견하였다. 보행로 상에 군집이 많이 섞여 있을수록 보행 흐름은 더욱 느려지고 보행공간은 혼잡해진다. 보행류율과 보행점유공간 등의 지표는 특정 시간동안 해당 보행로를 이용한 보행자수에 의해 정의된다. 따라서 군집의 비율이 높은 지점과 낮은 지점에서 동일한 수의 보행자가 관측되었다 하더라도 실질적인 보행 속도, 혼잡도 등은 큰 차이를 보일 수 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 현상을 관찰하여 보행 군집의 구성 비중이 높은 경우에 적용할 수 있는 별도의 보행자 서비스 수준을 제시하였다. 그 결과, 동일한 값의 보행류율을 보이는 두 개의 지점이라 해도 보행 군집의 영향에 의해 서비스 수준이 다르게 나타남을 확인하였다.
