▼ Automated vehicles (AVs) are being developed by several companies and research groups worldwide. The implicit communication (e.g., eye contact) of the vehicle or driver seems to play an important role in the expected behaviour of vehicles. It is possible that vulnerable road users (VRUs) are less able to estimate the intention of vehicles (e.g., deceleration, braking behaviour and stopping distance) when this type of communication changes or disappears when AVs are introduced. An external human-machine interface (eHMI) (i.e., a display showing when it is safe to cross) can be introduced to overcome the lack of implicit communication between driver and pedestrian. The goal of this study was to examine the effects of eHMIs of AVs on the crossing behaviour of VRUs. A virtual reality (VR) simulation was set up, where the participant was standing on the pavement on a two-lane two-way road in a European setting. The yielding behaviour (yielding, non yielding), the type of vehicle (small, medium, large), the type of eHMI and the timing of an eHMI were varied in a within-subject design (N = 28). Four types of eHMIs were implemented, which all consisted of a screen in the front of the vehicle; with the four eHMIs being 1) the Frontal braking lights, 2) a Knightrider animation, 3) a Smiley and 4) a Text showing ‘WALK’ was shown when it was safe to cross.When it was not safe to cross, the Frontal braking lights were turned off, the Knightrider animation was not shown, the Smiley was neutral and the Text showed ‘DON’T WALK’. Results showed that the presence of an eHMI made participants significantly feel safer when trying to cross. This was measured by measuring the total time that participants indicated they felt safe to cross using a remote control on which participants could press a button. The total time ratio that participants pressed the button when vehicles were yielding was 0.655, 0.743, 0.747, 0.751, and 0.765 for the baseline, Frontal braking lights, Knightrider, Smiley, and Text, respectively. Thus, participants felt safer to cross when an eHMI was present compared to when no eHMI was present. Secondly, the vehicle size was found to play a role in the total time that participants felt safe to cross. Specifically, the total time ratio was 0.746 for a Smart fortwo, 0.732 for a BMW z4, and 0.725 for a Ford f150 in the yielding cases. The total time ratio was 0.206 for a Smart fortwo, 0.190 for a BMW z4, and 0.156 for a Ford f150 in the non-yielding cases. Furthermore, the distance at which an eHMI changes state (e.g., ‘WALK’/‘DON’T WALK’) was found to play a role in the total time that participants felt safe to cross. The total time ratio was 0.796 for 50 m, 0.761 for 35 m, 0.698 for 20 m and 0.655 for the baseline. Participants reported in a post-experiment questionnaire that the Text eHMI was least ambiguous. Future research can focus on which aspects improve AV-VRU interaction, so that eHMIs can be optimised. Now merely screens in front of the vehicle were tested; other techniques (e.g., projected… Advisors/Committee Members: Happee, Riender (mentor), de Winter, Joost (graduation committee), Nuñez Velasco, Pablo (graduation committee), Dietrich, André (graduation committee), Delft University of Technology (degree granting institution).

▼ The purpose of this dissertation is to address the problem of predicting pedestrian movement and behavior in and among crowds. Specifically, we will focus on an agent based approach where pedestrians are treated individually and parameters for an energy model are trained by real world video data. These learned pedestrian models are useful in applications such as tracking, simulation, and artificial intelligence. The applications of this method are explored and experimental results show that our trained pedestrian motion model is beneficial for predicting unseen or lost tracks as well as guiding appearance based tracking algorithms. The method we have developed for training such a pedestrian model operates by optimizing a set of weights governing an aggregate energy function in order to minimize a loss function computed between a model's prediction and annotated ground-truth pedestrian tracks. The formulation of the underlying energy function is such that using tight convex upper bounds, we are able to efficiently approximate the derivative of the loss function with respect to the parameters of the model. Once this is accomplished, the model parameters are updated using straightforward gradient descent techniques in order to achieve an optimal solution. This formulation also lends itself towards the development of a multiple behavior model. The multiple pedestrian behavior styles, informally referred to as "stereotypes", are common in real data. In our model we show that it is possible, due to the unique ability to compute the derivative of the loss function, to build a new model which utilizes a soft-minimization of single behavior models. This allows unsupervised training of multiple different behavior models in parallel. This novel extension makes our method unique among other methods in the attempt to accurately describe human pedestrian behavior for the myriad of applications that exist. The ability to describe multiple behaviors shows significant improvements in the task of pedestrian motion prediction. Advisors/Committee Members: Tappen, Marshall F..

Pedestrian-to-Everything (P2X) communication has numerous advantages from improving traffic light cycle schedules to increase pedestrian safety. Challenges, such as handling the lack of positioning accuracy in urban canyons, limited battery power, and wireless channel resources, still need to be addressed before mass deployment of these systems. The goal of this research is to introduce a distributed channel congestion control algorithm for Personal Safety Messages (PSMs) that can converge in heterogeneous application environments with different message rates. Different message rates arise, for example, with contextual transmission policies (CTP) that activate different applications based on situational context, such as the estimated positioning accuracy. Energy consumption is another challenge when smartphones are used to enhance pedestrian safety. Therefore, to minimize channel sensing energy usage, we further propose a novel collaborative channel load measurement mechanism, as opposed to more conventional approaches employed in Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication. To properly tackle the problem, an accurate network simulator is important to understand how P2X communication performs for different algorithms and approaches. More specifically, the aforementioned simulator needs to accurately model the following components: (i) Channel propagation with co-channel interference in 5.9~GHz band with 10 MHz bandwidth, (ii) realistic positioning model as part of the system, i.e. smartphones, that P2X transmissions take place, and (iii) realistic dense mobility scenarios. Therefore, we start with modeling and calibrating channel propagation for Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) in the 5.9 GHz DSRC band in an intersection environment. Then, we evaluate channel performance under an idealized positioning accuracy for a realistic mobility scenario. Then, the steps taken to investigate different approaches to reduce unnecessary P2X transmissions are shown. Finally, we develop a multi-rate congestion controller that improves smartphones battery consumption and information age. Extensive simulations show that when the proposed algorithms are used, information age for P2X safety applications is improved, which potentially increases pedestrian safety, and the energy consumption is significantly reduced.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Object detection and tracking are important components of many computer vision applications including automated surveillance. Automated surveillance attempts to solve the challenges associated with closed-circuit camera systems. These include monitoring large numbers of cameras and the associated labour costs, and issues related to targeted surveillance. Object detection is an important step of a surveillance system and must overcome challenges such as changes in object appearance and illumination, dynamic background objects like ickering screens, and shadows. Our system uses Gaussian mixture models, which is a background subtraction method, to detect moving objects. Tracking is challenging because measurements from the object detection stage are not labelled and could be from false targets. We use multiple hypothesis tracking to solve this measurement origin problem. Practical long-term tracking of objects should have re-identi cation capabilities to deal with challenges arising from tracking failure and occlusions. In our system each tracked object is assigned a one-class support vector machine (OCSVM) which learns the appearance of that object. The OCSVM is trained online using HSV colour features. Therefore, objects that were occluded or left the scene can be reidenti ed and their tracks extended. Standard, publicly available data sets are used for testing. The performance of the system is measured against ground truth using the Jaccard similarity index, the track length and the normalized mean square error. We nd that the system performs well.

AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die opsporing en volging van voorwerpe is belangrike komponente van baie rekenaarvisie toepassings, insluitend outomatiese bewaking. Outomatiese bewaking poog om die uitdagings wat verband hou met geslote kring kamera stelsels op te los. Dit sluit in die monitering van groot hoeveelhede kameras en die gepaardgaande arbeidskoste, en kwessies wat verband hou met toegespitse bewaking. Die opsporing van voorwerpe is 'n belangrike stap in 'n bewakingstelsel en moet uitdagings soos veranderinge in die voorwerp se voorkoms en beligting, dinamiese agtergrondvoorwerpe soos ikkerende skerms, en skaduwees oorkom. Ons stelsel maak gebruik van Gaussiese mengselmodelle, wat 'n agtergrond-aftrek metode is, om bewegende voorwerpe op te spoor. Volging is 'n uitdaging, want afmetings van die voorwerp-opsporing stadium is nie gemerk nie en kan afkomstig wees van valse teikens. Ons gebruik verskeie hipotese volging (multiple hypothesis tracking ) om hierdie meting-oorsprong probleem op te los. Praktiese langtermynvolging van voorwerpe moet heridenti seringsvermoëns besit, om die uitdagings wat voortspruit uit mislukte volging en okklusies te kan hanteer. In ons stelsel word elke gevolgde voorwerp 'n een-klas ondersteuningsvektormasjien (one-class support vector machine, OCSVM) toegeken, wat die voorkoms van daardie voorwerp leer. Die OCSVM word aanlyn afgerig met die gebruik van HSV kleurkenmerke. Daarom kan…

▼ Rural areas bear a disproportionate number of pedestrian fatalities: the fatality rate per 100 million vehicle miles traveled is 2.5 times higher in rural areas than in urban areas. To measurably improve pedestrian safety, it is paramount to predict crash hot spots and apply cost-effective countermeasures. This dissertation work developed a new systemic pedestrian safety tool to enhance crash hotspot identification and safety project prioritization for rural and small urban areas. This new tool suggested a six-step systemic safety framework: (1) initial screening, which identifies what type of facilities are more prone to pedestrian crashes, (2) pedestrian exposure estimation, which provides an area-level exposure metric using National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) 2009, (3) crash risk factor identification, which identifies the factors that contribute to the occurrence and high severity levels of pedestrian crashes, (4) hotspot identification, which identifies the locations that are more likely to experience pedestrian crashes using two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method, (5) countermeasure selection, which provides candidate countermeasures through literature sources, and (6) project prioritization, which ranks safety projects through a mixed linear programming. This study incorporated three states' pedestrian crash data from 2011 to 2013: Texas, Oregon, and Montana. It was found that in rural and small urban areas pedestrian safety is associated negatively with male and elderly drivers, shoulder presence, bike lane presence, higher speed limit, number of lanes, wet surface, pedestrian exposure, hospital distance, population density, median income, share of industrial and commercial areas, and dark hours. In contrast, the pedestrian safety is associated positively with signal control, sidewalk and warning sign presence, median presence, icy and snowy surface, higher AADT, and high densely household areas. To validate the proposed hotspot and project prioritization methods, this study used the pedestrian crash data set from 2014 to 2016 in the City of Bozeman, a small urban area. According to findings, about 60 percent of crash locations fall on areas with a high crash risk index. Reasonable countermeasures were suggested for twenty intersections with highest crash risk index. It was found that budget of $100,000 is the optimal budget, where the crash risk index was reduced by 63 percent. Advisors/Committee Members: Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Yiyi Wang (advisor).

▼ Despite the importance of multi-use trails in urban non-motorized transportation networks, transportation planners, engineers, and trail managers lack tools for describing economic activity associated with local trail use and for predicting bicycle and pedestrian demand for trails. New tools are needed to plan and prioritize investments in new facilities and to inform management and maintenance of trail infrastructure. Among other needs, they need tools to predict (1) expenditures by local users to support local economic development initiatives and assess neighborhood effects of proposals for trail development and (2) trail traffic demand for optimizing investments and managing maintenance of systems and facilities. This thesis responds to these needs and augments the burgeoning literature on trail traffic analysis by developing models of trail-related expenditures and mode-specific trail demand models. From the expenditures by local users side, using the results of intercept surveys completed by 1,282 trail users on the Central Ohio Greenway trail network in 2014, this thesis estimates the probabilities and patterns that different types of trail users will make expenditures. Approximately one-fifth of trail users reported spending between US15 and US20 for food, drink, and other incidental items. Across all trail users the average expenditure by individuals is about US3 per visit. All else equal, cyclists are more than twice as likely than other users to report expenditures. Users visiting trails principally for recreation are 53% more likely to spend, while users visiting trails mainly for exercise were about 19% less likely. Both longer trips to and on the trails are associated with higher spending. From the trail traffic demand side, this thesis employs trail traffic volumes recorded at 15-minute intervals for 32 multi-use trails located in 13 urban areas across the United States from January 1, 2014 through February 16, 2016. The results of analyses indicate (1) daily trail traffic varies substantially – over three orders of magnitude – across the monitoring stations included in the study; (2) daily trail traffic is highly correlated with weather, and the parabola form of weather parameters works well for modeling variables such as temperature, where trail use is associated with warmer temperatures, but only up to a point at which higher temperatures then decrease use; (3) bicyclists and pedestrians respond differently to variations in weather, and their responses vary both within and across regions; (4) with only a few exceptions, average daily pedestrians (ADP) and average daily bicyclists (ADB) are correlated with different variables, and the magnitude of effects of variables that are the same varies significantly between the two modes; (5) the mean relative percentage error (MRPE) for bicyclist, pedestrian, and mixed-mode demand models, respectively, are 65.4%, 85.3%, and 45.9%; (6) although using multimodal monitoring networks enables us to juxtapose the bicyclist demand with pedestrian demand, there is…

▼ The highway-rail grade crossing is unique in that it constitutes the intersection of two transportation modes, which differ in both the physical characteristics of their traveled ways and their operations. Level crossings involve a considerable number of pedestrians and their harmony with the road and rail traffic, along with railway and road geometry setup is paramount to enhance the economic, social and environmental aspects of public transportation. The level crossing being a shared space, pedestrians experience time and space constrained mobility and their safety at the level crossing is at risk. This research harmonizes the mobility of pedestrians at level crossings. The case of Addis Ababa Light Rail Transit (AALRT) is chosen, with a specific focus on Sebategna level crossing. The current level crossing at Sebategna is a multi-modal shared space that is managed by the train signal, a bell that rings for an approaching train, level crossing signalmen and traffic officers. This setting results in space and time constrained mobility of pedestrians, congestion, and crashes. Constraints to pedestrian mobility and causes of safety-related issues experienced by pedestrians at the level crossing were examined. Using PTV Vissim multi-modal simulation software, this research developed and evaluated two test scenarios that could improve pedestrian mobility and improve their safety at Sebategna level crossing. The results of the study indicate that the constraints to pedestrians’ mobility at Sebategna level crossing include; no coordinated signal control at the level crossing, crosswalks opposite the station platforms entrance are not fully observed by vehicular traffic, some sidewalks being blocked by market vendors and congestion on the level crossing during peak hours which causes significant delays. The causes of safety-related incidents experienced by pedestrians’ cuts across pedestrians’ behavior, driver behavior, pedestrian infrastructure in place and its’ utilization. From the results of the simulated test scenarios, improving and adjusting the infrastructure geometry (shared level crossing, lane configuration, conflict areas) in place can improve pedestrian safety and mobility. There are improved queue length and delay times in test scenario 1, compared to test scenario 2, in which signal control was incorporated. However, from a safety perspective, the later would be suitable because of signal control. The queue length and vehicular delay results of the existing scenario is reduced from 66.66 m and 50.52 s to 25.63 m and 14.47 s respectively. The number of conflict areas reduced from 120 in the existing scenario to 110 and 51 in test scenario 1 and 2. Advisors/Committee Members: Bikila, Teklu (PhD) (advisor).

▼ The design of new facilities - buildings, shopping centers, public transport stations, airports, or intersections of urban roads - should consider delays resulting from intense pedestrians’ flows in order to make its' operation more efficient. The general objective of this doctoral thesis is to propose a simulation model to represent pedestrians’ behavior in urban environments. Simulation models should allow planning these environments in order to provide greater levels of comfort and safety for the pedestrian. Agent-based abstraction has been widely used for pedestrian modeling, mainly due to its capacity to represent complex entities. Agent-based models represent agents’ decision-making ability based on their profile and perception over the environment. One of the most important pedestrians’ activities is the route choice. This document describes the development of a route choice model based on friction forces. The route cost calculation considers a balance between distance and the impedance generated by other pedestrians. Simulations runs shown that pedestrians choosing longer routes can have similar or better travel times. The ability of choosing not only the shorter route brings more realistic behaviors for the pedestrians’ representation, especially with small differences in route lengths and higher congestion. On the proposed model agents were modeled with partial knowledge of the network conditions. The knowledge was limited considering the pedestrian estimated field of view. In the real world it is not possible to know the network state before turning the corner. The model was validated and calibrated with real data. Calibrating a pedestrian route choice model is a complex task mainly for two reasons: (i) Many factors interfere on pedestrians’ route choice; (ii) data collection is difficult. To overcome these difficulties real pedestrians were studied in a controlled environment. An experiment was set up inside the university campus. After the calibration process the model was able to simulate a real scenario. Proposed model was applied to simulate a shopping mall environment. Simulate the pedestrians shopping behavior is particularly complex once route choice in shopping malls may be defined by a number of causal factors. Shoppers may follow a pre-defined schedule; they may be influenced by other people walking, or may want to get a glimpse of a familiar shopping. Analysis from simulations indicates that the agents’ behavior provides a promising approach for real case applications. Advisors/Committee Members: Cybis, Helena Beatriz Bettella.

O presente trabalho trata da acessibilidade relativa dos espaços urbanos para pedestres com restrições de mobilidade. Reconhecendo-se que estes espaços são deficientes no aspecto da mobilidade potencial dos pedestres e que a situação é agravada dependendo das características de locomoção desses indivíduos, a hipótese do trabalho considera que estas deficiências podem ser amenizadas se for possível mensurar os seus efeitos para os grupos de pedestres com alguma dificuldade de locomoção. Para tanto, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi propor um modelo de avaliação capaz de mapear a acessibilidade relativa dos caminhos de pedestres, considerando-se as condições de mobilidade potencial de grupos de indivíduos selecionados. O estudo foi voltado para pessoas com deficiência física (cadeirantes), com deficiência visual (cegos) e com restrição de mobilidade (idosos), usando como referência as pessoas sem restrições de mobilidade. O modelo foi proposto com base na aplicação do método de avaliação multicritério que teve como complementação um estudo que resultou na proposição de níveis de acessibilidade relativa. Este modelo foi desenvolvido em ambiente SIG de forma a proporcionar a visualização das relações entre os ambientes urbanos de acordo com as condições de mobilidade para cada grupo de usuários selecionados. O modelo foi aplicado em dois campi universitários, um no Brasil e outro em Portugal, e validado com a adoção de dois métodos que verificaram sua aplicabilidade. Os resultados indicaram que o modelo é adequado e promissor, pois possibilita obter indicadores ou índices de acessibilidade relativa para a caracterização das condições de mobilidade potencial de pedestres.

The present works focus on the relative accessibility of urban open spaces for pedestrians with mobility constraints, based on the premise that urban open spaces are deficient with regard to the potential mobility of pedestrians and also that the situation can be aggravated by the particular travel conditions of the individuals. Therefore, the urban spaces deficiencies can be properly reduced if it is possible to assess their effect on the group of pedestrians with mobility limitations. In order to do so, the objective of this study was to formulate an evaluation model for mapping the relative accessibility of pedestriansṕathways, in which the potential mobility conditions of particular groups were taken into account. The following groups of pedestrians were considered: wheelchair users, with visual disabilities, and with mobility constraints (e.g., elderly). Users without mobility constraints formed the control group taken as a reference of accessibility. The proposed model was initially based on a multicriteria evaluation, which was subsequently adjusted to show levels of relative accessibility. The entire model was developed in a Geographic Information System environment, what allows a visual comparison of the urban spaces conditions for the different groups of selected users. The method was applied in two university campuses, one in Brazil and one…

Typically research has focused on large objects, such as vehicles, for tracking due to the spatial resolution of current operational HSI systems. This research seeks to extend the utility of applying HSI to human pedestrian detection using the reflective solar spectral range between 400 - 2500 nm. A phenomenological investigation of a novel scheme to differentiate between pedestrians is studied. By applying the basics of detection theory, this research focuses on being able to differentiate between pedestrians, as well as background materials. Specifically, this research explores the likelihood of detecting and differentiating pedestrians based on four defined subregions comprised of the exposed hair, skin, and the fabrics used for shirts and trousers. The scope of this work encompassed detecting a pedestrian of interest outdoors among other pedestrians in an urban environment consisting of a mixture of asphalt, concrete, grass, and trees. Two unique datasets were created during the course of this effort. One dataset was a collection of fully ground-truthed hyperspectral images of pedestrians in an urban environment. A second dataset was a synthetic rendering of the real-world ground truthed pedestrian scene developed using the Digital Imaging and Remote Sensing Image Generation (DIRSIG) model. Subregion separability analysis results, using spectral reflectance data, provided strong evidence that combining the observable spectral features of detectable subregions is a viable means of distinguishing between pedestrians. Further analysis using real-world HSI data demonstrated that the detection and classification of the pedestrian subregions when changes in illumination, location, and background occur within the field of view of a hyperspectral sensor is achievable with a greater than 60% accuracy. In addition to the direct detection and association analysis using the full spectral range, trade-offs in using spectral subsets of the reflectance spectrum were explored for their utility in detecting and classifying each of the pedestrian subregions. The results suggested that the clothing worn on a pedestrian's torso is the dominant feature for classification and either using a full spectral range (400 - 2500 nm) with 152 spectral bands or the visible to near-infrared spectral range (400 - 1000 nm) with 39 bands provides similar capability to teh full spectral range for distinguishing among pedestrians with similar skin and clothing types.

▼ Traffic signals help to maintain order in urban traffic networks and reduce vehicle conflicts by dynamically assigning right-of-way to different vehicle movements. However, by temporarily stopping vehicle movements at regular intervals, traffic signals are a major source of urban congestion and cause increased vehicle delay, fuel consumption, and environmental pollution. Connected and Autonomous Vehicle technology may be utilized to optimize traffic operations at signalized intersections, since connected vehicles have the ability to communicate with the surrounding infrastructure and autonomous vehicles can follow the instructions from the signal or a central control system. Connected vehicle information received by a signal controller can be used to help adjust signal timings to tailor to the specific dynamic vehicle demand. Information about the signal timing plan can then be communicated back to the vehicles so that they can adjust their speeds/trajectories to further improve traffic operations. Based on a thorough literature review of existing studies in the area of signal control utilizing information from connected and autonomous vehicles, three research gaps are found: 1) application are limited to unrealistic intersection configurations; 2) methods are limited to a single mode; or, 3) methods only optimize the average value of measure of effectiveness while ignoring the distribution among vehicles. As a part of this dissertation, several methods will be proposed to increase computational efficiency of an existing CAV-based joint signal timing and vehicle trajectory optimization algorithm so that it can be applied to more realistic intersection settings without adding computational burden. Doing so requires the creation of new methods to accommodate features like multiple lanes on each approach, more than two approaches and turning maneuvers. Methods to incorporate human-driven cooperative vehicles and pedestrians are also proposed and tested. A more equitable traffic signal control method is also designed.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The design of railway station environments in South Africa and to a certain extent internationally, is based on rules of thumb. These rules, using general macroscopic principles for determining peak passenger loads are inadequate and misleading for detailed design purposes. The principles advocated in local design guideline documents are erroneous and ignore the highly variable flow nature or “micro-peaking” effects that typically occur within railway station environments. Furthermore, there are no procedures proposed in these guideline documents, which leads to ambiguous assessment techniques used by practitioners in the determination of pedestrian spatial areas. It is evident that the knowledge in the area of pedestrian movement contained within the design guidance is far from comprehensive. Without a reliable method for estimating pedestrian levels-of-service and capacities, design of new facilities does not follow a uniform process, resulting in high levels of uncertainty in determining if the time, money and resources invested in upgrading facilities will actually cater to the demand. The situation is further exacerbated by current industry thinking towards pedestrian modelling in South Africa, where it is perceived by both clients and practitioners to be more cost effective to use macroscopic techniques and designing infrastructure according to a “one-level-up” level-of-service method. Working with architects confirmed that the area of circulation design was lacking in data and guidance and that associated quantified assessments of pedestrian movement was rarely, if ever, carried out. Towards addressing these issues, the development of a Spatial Parameter (SP)-model spreadsheet application became the main objective of the study. The model contributes towards addressing the needs of individual station users based on the trade-off between level-of-service and infrastructure costs. The output of the model allows the designer to avoid the under-provision (detrimental to operations) and oversizing of railway station infrastructure (with obvious financial implications). The author recognised the lack of pedestrian movement data in South Africa and addressed this by conducting extensive video-based pedestrian observations aimed at exploring the macroscopic fundamental relationships and the ways in which these relationships might be influenced by the various personal, situational and environmental factors that characterise the context in which pedestrians move. The movement trajectories of 24,410 pedestrians were investigated over three infrastructure environments at Maitland and Bonteheuwel stations in Cape Town, carefully selected to incorporate the cultural diversity common in South Africa. Tracking of pedestrians was achieved via the use of an in-house developed “video annotator” software tool. Boarding and alighting rates of 7,426 passengers were also observed at these stations incorporating contributory attributes such as age, gender, body size, encumbrance, group size, time of day, and… Advisors/Committee Members: Bester, C.

▼ Risning fuelcosts, energy consumption and environmental conserns is directly linked with the built environment and transportation habits. This paper will outline a number of methoods which will examine how these issues can be contained. Several concepts has been introduced to give cityplanners, architects among others instrument and guiedelines of how to adress these issues. The Compact city and Walkability is Both consepts that introduces guidelines counter modernistic guiedlines of how the urban environment should be formed. This paper will test how these consepts can be taken down from the abstract level, interpreted and implemented within a case study. The case study chosen is Belfast central because it is situated within a context which is not cohearent with the compact city and Walkability. Where the city of Belfaast beeing one of the most cardepandant cities in Europe and the Central station beeing situated within an area which is undeveloped and close to the citycentre. The puropse is therefore to examine the concept of the Compact city and Walkability, their guidelines and abstract recomendations for how a new development should be conducted. First guidelines of the compact city has been analysed and discussed with comparason to other reasearchers with the aim to extract relighable theoretical guiedlines. Walkability as a idea is also analysed t o explore what urban design guidelines are related to Walkability. Theese more broad guidelines are taken into considerat ion when the si te-analysis is conducted. Walkability is further anlysed to extract physical elements down to a detailed level of measurements. Which is sumerrised in the Walkability guide for urban design? Its funcuntion is to serve practical implementation of walkability in new devlopments. To be able to implement the idea of Walkability and The compact city a current status analysis has been conducted to examine factors which is important for walkability and The compact city derived from the guideline analysis of the conepts. First a superficial Lynch analysis was conducted to identify important paths, nodes and the areas intergration to the citycentre. This analysis resulted in a view on which buildings are important to preserve, paths important to analyse further. To analyse building layout and continuancy in path networks will affect how intergrated the area is with the citycentre today. Transportation networks and building layout are critcal to the consepts of Walkablity and The compact city, pedestrain, bycycle paths and public transport was mapped. The findings was failiur of walkability and The compact city guideines. For example there was servere connectivity issues wihin the pedestrain, bycycle network and boundaries that limited connections to and from the river of Lagan, City centre and The Central station. I wanted to furrther test my above mentioned findings by cunducting an observation of movement and compare it to two interviews with key persons with in the community. The observation showed that there was less usage of…

▼ Communication between pedestrians and drivers partially relies on nonverbal communication methods such as eye-contact and gestures. With the transition from manually driven vehicles to automated vehicles (AVs), pedestrians could lose the ability to communicate their intention to the driver. This study investigated the use of hand gestures as a new form of communication from the pedestrian to the AV. Twenty-six participants participated in a Virtual Reality (VR) experiment, in which they wore an Oculus Rift to interacted with AVs in a virtual environment. The movement of the participants was recorded and visualized through the use of a Xsens Link motion tracking suit, which provided the research with data about the hand gesture usage. The main independent variable of this study was the permission for the participant to use hand gestures to try to make the AV yield. The hand gesture increased the probability of the AV stopping for the participant. The second independent variable was the response of the AV through a message on an external-Human Machine Interface (eHMI). The participants went through four different scenarios. Therefore, both one-way communication and two-way communication were investigated in the same experiment. The participants were given the freedom to decide if they wanted to use the hand gesture. Aside from the hand gesture, the participants were asked to perform a forward step at the moment they felt safe to cross the road in the virtual environment, without actual crossing. Alongside the gathered data on movement of the participants, the research also included data gathered from questionnaires in which the participants were asked about their feeling of safety, assurance of being seen by the AV, the effect that the lack of eye-contact had on their decision making, difficulty predicting the behaviour of the AV, and their trust in communication involving AVs and hand gestures. The research found that the participants used hand gestures to communicate crossing intent to the AV around 80% of the time. The ability to use hand gestures did not improve the feeling of safety significantly, and made it more difficult for the participants to predict the behaviour of the AV. The results of the subjective measurements did show positive results for the hand gesture in combination with responses from the AV by the eHMI, as well as for the eHMI alone. It is concluded that participants were willing to use the hand gesture, and that the hand gesture only increased the subjective feeling of safety if the AV responds to the hand gesture via an eHMI.

Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) is a new construction material that often is used for pedestrian bridges. It offers a good strength-weight relation, a long-term durability and slender bridge shapes. Slenderness has effect on dynamic behaviour of the construction and vibrations are common for these bridges. Hand calculations are commonly used for the forecast of the dynamic behaviour, but this approach is not very accurate. Royal Haskoning DHV felt the need for a numerical model to be able to forecast the dynamic behaviour of pedestrian bridges of which accelerations, natural frequency and damping ratio are the most important. This thesis aims to fulfil this need. During a literature study relevant calculation methods were found and offered a better insight in the behaviour of bridges and the properties of FRP. FiberCore, manufacturer of FRP bridges, provided information of 15 different bridges all over the Netherlands. These bridges were all examined and vibrations were measured in the field. It was possible to bring 7 of these bridges in vibration using two test methods. To be able to measure accelerations and natural frequency mobile applications were validated in a case study in Puurs Belgium with the University of Leuven. A numerical model has been built for one specific bridge with a finite element method in SOFiSTiK and validated with the information provided by FiberCore. Furthermore, a dynamic load simulating a person walking over the bridge was designed. After having validated the model calculations were made to determine the natural frequency and the accelerations of this bridge as well without as with handrails. The results were compared with hand calculation according to the calculation method of the Joint Research Centre (JRC). Significant differences between the results of the model calculation and the JRC method were found and analysed. The main conclusions of the thesis are regarding the damping factor and the results from the numerical model. The damping factor of 1.4% to 5.4% is measured for 8 FRP bridges spanning 10-25m. The assumption of 1% damping, which is often used in design verifications in engineering practice is conservative. The maximum acceleration from the numerical model, 1.22 m/s2, is higher than the 0.43 m/s2 calculated from the SDOF method from the JRC, which is used in design verifications in engineering practice. The psi factor is a very dominant reduction in the latter calculation. The author concludes with some recommendations for further research.
