Climate-sensitive Pavement Modelling for Pedestrian Ways

Abstract

It is very obvious that urban areas should be more liveable and well equipped for different seasons to provide sustainable urban environment for the inhabitants. SVF and RayMan Pro 2.1 model are used for the determination of comfortable conditions. Measurements were also taken from north and south side and from the middle of the pedestrian ways. Time of the measurements was decided as September 2015 and January 2016 between 12:00 and 14:00. When the measurements were made, Fish-eye photos were also taken for the calculation of SVF. This study found that the relationship between temperature and SVF is more important during the winter.
