Pedestrian Movement Surveys

Pedestrian movement surveys can be as simple as a volume count at a specific location, or be as complex as tracing the path the pedestrian travelled.

Intersection surveys usually count pedestrian volumes crossing each leg of an intersection, split into each approach direction. Further sub-categorisation may include break up into adult, children (all or primary and secondary), aged, disabled, prams, pushers, walkers and shopping trolleys.

Midblock surveys of pedestrians may be undertaken to prove requirement of an additional School crossing or general pedestrian crossing facility.

Walking utilisation surveys either on road reserve paths or off road tracks can be undertaken manually or using a variety of data logger techniques and sensing applications.
