| Abstract: |
First, the definition of pedestrian transport is given. Next, the traffic characteristics of pedestrian transport (pedestrian flow, density, and speed) are analyzed and their interrelationships are presented. Reference is made to the various methodologies for calculating the level of service from the international literature based on both quantitative and qualitative parameters. The results of recent studies on the calculation of the level of service in Greece are also mentioned. Pedestrian infrastructure (sidewalks, crossings, pedestrian walkways) is described, and specifications for their design are provided, as well as policies to encourage walking. It then examines pedestrian behavior and the parameters that influence it, and provides a framework for assessing walkability along pedestrian flow axes with the aim of ensuring safety, comfort, and accessibility in various land uses.
