Abstract:
Measuring Pedestrian Quality of Service for Mid-block Street Crossings is an expanded version of the first three chapters of Pedestrian Mid-Block Crossing Difficulty done by the same authors and reviewed herein. This study was part of a project by the Florida DOT towards establishing a model methodology for establishing a pedestrian LOS. (The Florida DOT looked at pedestrian routes along roadway segments crossings in Modeling the Roadside Walking Environment: A Pedestrian Level of Service, also reviewed herein.) The value of this study is that it explores what determinants are relevant in measuring a pedestrian LOS for mid-block crossings based on performance standards. The information could be useful to designers in understanding the importance of various components in the design of mid-block crossings.
