A Study on the Crossing Phenomenon at the Walking Space in the Railway Station

Today, when much higher quality of the space is requested against the following problems: aging society, global environments, urban renewal and so on, the “demand side”, which means the pedestrian side, approach of the “planning and design” is necessary. Findings from the behavioral analyses of the individual pedestrian are important to reflect such planning as road itself, facility for pedestrians, pedestrian flow and so on. The study is to focus on the crossing phenomenon on the walking space and to find explicitly various factors regarding to the decision making of a pedestrian who crosses the opposite flow.
