Layout of public space for slow traffic
How can you use layout design and pedestrian traffic flow data to design corona proof society for public space? In this blog, I describe which tools you can use.
The layout of public space for slow traffic
How can you set up the 1.5m society for public space? In this blog, I describe how to set this up.
Establishing visitors' numbers
The first step is to determine how many visitors come to the area during the busiest times of the day. The busiest times can be determined by calculating the number of visitors (demand) and the amount of space (supply). Demand is determined by the number of visitors to the street or store. The width of the sidewalk determines the supply. The calculation is as follows:
Traffic flow of visitors = A / B
A = Number of visitors (p/min)
B = width of the aisle or sidewalk (m)
The result of this calculation represents how many visitors are in the public space during the busiest times of the day. This calculation is essential to estimate whether visitors have enough space to pass each other at an appropriate distance.
Time, obstacles, and route choices
The second step is to influence the number of visitors during busy times with the time of day, obstacles, and route choices they can take. The following briefly discusses these factors.
Time of visitors
At what times is the area too crowded, and for how long? The time factor is essential to determine the maximum number of visitors in the public space. This is because the longer visitors stay in a place, the fewer visitors you can handle. So short visits are good to increase the likelihood that visitors can keep their distance.
Obstacles in walking Space
Are there any obstacles that make the walkway narrower? Obstacles in the walkway limit the number of visitors you can handle. This is because you have less space to pass each other and, therefore, less capacity to meet the requirements of the 1.5m society.
Route choice of visitors
What route choices do visitors take and why? Visitor route choice is a contributing factor to crowding in your area. The more visitors crisscross a space, the more often they encounter other visitors. And your room will be used less efficiently. Therefore, visitors must walk a logical route.
Solutions for the 1.5m society
Several tools are available online to help visitors keep a 1.5m distance in your city. These tools are free to use. The third step is to use these tools to plan how to organize the walking flows of your visitors in your area.
The Pedestrian Comfort Guidance for London is a handbook prepared by Transport for London. It contains the principles of how to design public spaces for pedestrians. This information is available for free.
Spoorbouwmeester prepared the domain analysis for stations and lends itself well to subdomains such as stores, streets, and squares to create logical walking flow routes. This document can be downloaded from the following link: The station concept vision and application.
Measurement sensors can be used to count visitor numbers. There are many different options for this. The possibilities are endless and, therefore, flexible. The disadvantage is that you can use the wrong sensors, which is why I have prepared some questions to help you make the right choice:
How much preparation time do you need with an upcoming peak of visitors?
At what scale level should the data be able to make a statement?
Can the necessary infrastructure and data connections be put in place quickly?
How is visitor privacy guaranteed?
Criteria for keeping a 1.5m distance
The next step is determining whether the space meets the 1.5m distance standard. If all goes well, you now have a picture of the area. You know the number of visitors per minute, the width of the walkway, and where visitor activities occur. Should you have insufficient space, consider one-way traffic or restricting access to the area.
No cross traffic
Keeping distance is easiest when crossing each other as little as possible. Crossing traffic needs more space. This is up to 3x more than one-way traffic.
Control visitor flow
The pedestrian guide lists the essential criteria for the volume of visitors you want on your streets. Therefore, the guide will provide guidelines for controlling your visitor flow.
Pedestrian policies and domain analyses are already used in crowded places, such as stations and airports. These locations try to get as many visitors through the space comfortably and quickly as possible. Therefore, lessons from the transportation sector can be used well for public space.
The rule of one visitor per 10m²
The Dutch government has the rule of one visitor per 10m² store. This rule is arbitrary, especially for stores with many shelves and narrow walkways. The adequate walking space is then much less than ten m². Therefore, you can use customization to increase the number of visitors without violating the Corona rules.
Crowds in the city or building make keeping a 1.5m distance from each other challenging. I have read a lot recently about using technology to start crowd-managing crowds in the physical environment. Even though I have worked a lot with technology for crowd management purposes recently, I think you cannot manage visitors until the basics are in place. This is why I advocate using the pedestrian guide and domain analysis as free tools that you can use to properly organize the principles of crowd management before using technological solutions.

Mpangilio wa nafasi ya umma kwa trafiki ya polepole: Jinsi ya kutumia muundo wa mpangilio na data ya mtiririko wa trafiki ya watembea kwa miguu kubuni jamii ya ushahidi wa corona kwa nafasi ya umma Katika blogi hii, ninaelezea ni zana zipi unaweza kutumia. "Kutumia nafasi ya umma kwa trafiki ya polepole, unaweza kuunda ""jamii ya mita 1.5"" kwa nafasi ya umma." Katika blogi hii, ninaelezea jinsi ya kuanzisha hii. Kuamua idadi ya wageni: Hatua ya kwanza ni kuamua ni wageni wangapi wanaokuja katika eneo hilo wakati wa shughuli nyingi za siku. Nyakati za shughuli nyingi zaidi zinaweza kuamuliwa kwa kuhesabu idadi ya wageni (mahitaji) na kiasi cha nafasi (matoleo). Mahitaji huamuliwa na idadi ya wageni kwenye barabara au duka. Upana wa kijia huamua ugavi. "Hii ni kwa sababu ""mzunguko wa wageni"" ni sawa na ""mzunguko wa wageni"" (ppm) na ""upana wa kijia au kijia"" (m) na ""mfano wa wageni"" ni sawa na ""mzunguko wa wageni"" (ppm)." Hesabu hii ni muhimu kukadiria kama wageni kuwa na nafasi ya kutosha kupita kila mmoja katika umbali unaofaa. Wakati, vikwazo, na chaguzi za njia Hatua ya pili ni kuathiri idadi ya wageni wakati wa shughuli nyingi na wakati wa siku, vikwazo, na chaguzi za njia wanaweza kuchukua. Mambo haya yanazungumziwa kwa ufupi hapa chini. Wakati wa wageni Ni nyakati zipi eneo hilo huwa na watu wengi sana, na kwa muda gani? Kipengele cha muda ni muhimu kuamua idadi ya juu ya wageni katika nafasi ya umma. Hii ni kwa sababu wageni wanaokaa kwa muda mrefu katika mahali fulani, wageni wachache unaweza kushughulikia. Kwa hiyo, ziara fupi ni nzuri kwa kuongeza uwezekano wa wageni kudumisha umbali wao. Vizuizi katika kutembea nafasi Je, kuna vizuizi yoyote ambayo kufanya walkway nyembamba? Vizuizi vilivyo kwenye njia ya kutembea hupunguza idadi ya wageni unaoweza kushughulikia. Hii ni kwa sababu una nafasi kidogo ya kupita kila mmoja na, kwa hivyo, uwezo mdogo wa kukidhi mahitaji ya jamii ya 1.5m. Njia ya wageni Njia gani za wageni huchagua na kwa nini? Uchaguzi wa njia ya wageni ni jambo linalochangia msongamano wa watu katika eneo lenu. Kadiri wageni wanavyozunguka nafasi, ndivyo wanavyokutana na wageni wengine mara nyingi zaidi. Na chumba chako kitatumiwa kwa ufanisi mdogo. Kwa hiyo, wageni lazima watembee njia inayofaa. Kwa mfano, kuna njia kadhaa za mtandaoni za kusaidia wageni kuweka umbali wa mita 1.5 katika jiji lako. Vifaa hivi ni bure kutumia. Hatua ya tatu ni kutumia zana hizi kupanga jinsi ya kupanga mtiririko wa kutembea wa wageni wako katika eneo lako. Mwongozo wa faraja ya watembea kwa miguu kwa ajili ya London ni mwongozo ulioandaliwa na Usafiri kwa ajili ya London. Ina kanuni za jinsi ya kubuni nafasi za umma kwa ajili ya watembea kwa miguu. Habari hiyo inapatikana bila malipo. Spoorbouwmeester tayari uchambuzi uwanja kwa ajili ya vituo na lends yenyewe vizuri kwa subdomains kama vile maduka, barabara, na mraba kuunda njia mantiki kutembea mtiririko. Hati hii inaweza kupakuliwa kutoka kiungo kifuatacho: Maono ya dhana ya kituo na matumizi. Sensorer za kipimo zinaweza kutumiwa kuhesabu idadi ya wageni. Kuna chaguzi nyingi tofauti kwa ajili ya hili. Uwezekano ni usio na mwisho na, kwa hiyo, rahisi. Kwa sababu ya hali hii, unaweza kutumia sensorer zisizo sahihi, na kwa hivyo nimeandaa maswali kadhaa ya kukusaidia kufanya chaguo sahihi: Unahitaji muda gani wa maandalizi kwa kilele cha wageni kinachokuja? Katika kiwango gani data inapaswa kuwa na uwezo wa kufanya taarifa? Je, miundombinu na miunganisho ya data inahitajika inaweza kuwekwa mahali haraka? Usalama wa wageni unahakikishwaje? Kwa mfano, kwa ajili ya kuweka umbali wa mita 1.5 kutoka kwa mtu mwingine, ni muhimu kujua ikiwa nafasi ya kutembea inashikilia kiwango cha umbali wa mita 1.5 kutoka kwa mtu mwingine. Ikiwa kila kitu kinaenda vizuri, sasa una picha ya eneo hilo. Unajua idadi ya wageni kwa dakika, upana wa njia ya kutembea, na ambapo shughuli za wageni hutokea. Ikiwa huna nafasi ya kutosha, fikiria kusafiri kwa njia moja au kuzuia watu wasiingie katika eneo hilo. Hakuna trafiki ya kuvuka Kuhifadhi umbali ni rahisi wakati wa kuvuka kila mmoja kidogo iwezekanavyo. Kuvuka trafiki inahitaji nafasi zaidi. Hii ni mara tatu zaidi ya trafiki ya njia moja. Mwongozo wa watalii: Mwongozo wa watembea kwa miguu unaorodhesha vigezo muhimu kwa kiasi cha wageni unaotaka kwenye barabara zako. Kwa hiyo, mwongozo utatoa miongozo ya kudhibiti mtiririko wako wa wageni. Sera za watembea kwa miguu na uchambuzi wa uwanja tayari hutumiwa katika maeneo yenye msongamano, kama vile vituo na viwanja vya ndege. Maeneo hayo hujaribu kuvutia wageni wengi iwezekanavyo kwa urahisi na haraka iwezekanavyo. Kwa hiyo, masomo kutoka sekta ya usafiri inaweza kutumika vizuri kwa ajili ya nafasi ya umma. "Kama ilivyoelezwa hapo juu, sheria ya ""mzuru mmoja kwa kila 10m2"" inatumika kwa kila duka la 10m2 la Uholanzi." Kanuni hiyo ni ya kimakusudi, hasa kwa maduka yenye rafu nyingi na vijia vidogo vya kutembea. Nafasi ya kutosha ya kutembea ni basi chini sana ya kumi m2. Kwa hivyo, unaweza kutumia ubadilishaji ili kuongeza idadi ya wageni bila kuvunja sheria za Corona. Watu wengi katika jiji au jengo hufanya kuweka umbali wa mita 1.5 kutoka kwa kila mmoja kuwa changamoto. Nimekuwa kusoma mengi hivi karibuni kuhusu kutumia teknolojia ya kuanza umati wa usimamizi umati katika mazingira ya kimwili. Ingawa nimefanya kazi sana na teknolojia kwa madhumuni ya usimamizi wa umati hivi karibuni, nadhani huwezi kusimamia wageni mpaka misingi iwe mahali. Kwa hiyo, mimi kupendekeza kutumia mwongozo wa watembea kwa miguu na uchambuzi wa uwanja kama zana bure ambayo unaweza kutumia kwa usahihi kuandaa kanuni za usimamizi wa umati kabla ya kutumia ufumbuzi wa kiteknolojia.
