Urban Area Pedestrian Accessibility Study Based on Big Data
Publication: International Conference on Transportation and Development 2020
ABSTRACT
Quantitative evaluation of urban walking traffic is an important way to optimize the layout of daily life facilities, improve the convenience of residents’ walking, ease congestion and pollution problems, and improve urban living environment. By constructing the gravity model which uses the number of different weight POIs (Building points that attract people to travel) that the urban transportation network can access within a certain distance from each building in the Yanta area, the corresponding accessibility evaluation index can be calculated and used to evaluate walking traffic. The results show that within the acceptable range of travel, the area in Yanta where the walking gravity index above 42.1 accounted for 73.2%. It shows that the overall walking accessibility of Yanta District is higher, but there is a difference in the distribution of east and west; the area in Yanta where the walking gravity index is above 24.4 accounted for 88.6%. And the distribution is even.
