A METHOD OF ANALYSIS OF THE PEDESTRIAN SYSTEM OF A TOWN CENTR (NOTTINGHAM CITY)

AN INVESTIGATION IS REPORTED OF THE CHIEF CAUSES OF INCONVENIENCE AND DISCOMFORT TO PEOPLE AS PEDESTRIANS, AND THE MEASUREMENTS MADE TO INDICATE AT WHAT LEVELS OF CONGESTION CONDITIONS COULD BE SAID TO BECAOME UNACCEPTABLE. THE PRACTICAL PEDESTRIAN NETWORK CAPACITY IS ANALYZED IN A WAY WHICH PARALLELS THE TYPE OF ANALYSIS THAT TRAFFIC PLANNERS USE TO TEST THE CAPACITY OF THE ROAD NETWORK. /AUTHOR/
