Study of Pedestrian Movement in Correlation to the Transportation Infrastructure and Land Use/Land Cover in a Fast Developing Indian City

Abstract

The cities in developing countries are growing at a faster rate, which has ultimately generated stress on the transportation networks within them. During transportation planning, less attention is paid for pedestrian movement during the design of any street functionaries. So the study focuses on understanding the pedestrian movement in a developing country like India w.r.t., rate of development. Intersections located along the Nagpur inner ring road were considered and based on the trends in the development rate of built-up, study intersections were selected. The video data were acquired and Pearson’s correlation coefficient and ANOVA analysis have been carried out to find the correlation between development and the pedestrian movement. From the analysis, it is observed that the development rate and infrastructure are directly related to the pedestrian movement at the intersection.
