State Preference Survey of Pedestrian Street Crossing and Big Data Analysis of Suppressed Pedestrian Trips

The objective of this research is to develop a pedestrian accessibility index that reflects the disutility posed by walking in uncomfortable settings or spending significant time waiting for the opportunity to cross. This index can help the Design Office better understand what designs and conditions result in greater use and attract more individuals to walk versus drive and utilize the designated facilities. This index will then be compared against a review of Replica big data of walking trips and the demographic information of those making those trips and the routes taken. Without this study, FDOT will miss an opportunity to understand which facility design and conditions create the largest benefit in terms of pedestrian use.
