Abstract:
The demands of senior pedestrians are not effectively catered for in the current transportation
situation. Unfortunately, little is known about the traits and conduct of pedestrians, with the
exception of children. The basic observation that elderly walkers move more slowly than
younger ones is readily corroborated by field data, but the information currently available on
walking speeds and start-up times is far from perfect. To measure the walking speed and startup
time of walkers of various ages, a number of field investigations were carried out. In Dhaka
City, four crosswalks were examined. In relation to site and environmental characteristics, such
as street width, pedestrian-signal type, street functional categorization, crossing type, and
channelization, data on walking speeds and start-up times were gathered. Data were gathered
on two groups of pedestrians: one subject group who appeared to be 60 or older, and the other
control group who appeared to be younger than 60. The results show that pedestrians walk at
a variety of speeds. Video recording was used to collect data for about 4.5 hours, although the model improvement required surveying 2768 participants in total. In Dhaka, the sidewalk near
Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College recorded the fastest or slowest walking speed (82.97
m/s). In all appearances when there are fewer walkers, men visitors go more quickly than
female tourists. All middle-aged (84.06 m/min) and younger (23.48 m/min) adults move at
speeds that are substantially faster than the pitiful Walking pace. Particularly for individuals
who aren't transporting anything, the walking speeds of people carrying things are essentially
same. Simply put, receiving walk speeds in whole shaft jobs are slower than walking speeds
on mixed land uses. A male ranger has a faster root velocity than a female ranger within each
arrowhead.
