Use of Multinomial Logit Model in Evaluation of Service Levels of Pedestrian Facilities

Abstract

Main aim of this study is to provide service measures for walking facilities such as sidewalk, signalized intersection and un-signalized intersection using pedestrian perception data sets. Based on factors which are mainly affecting the pedestrian’s satisfaction level like traffic, safety, comfort, maintenance and aesthetics proper questionnaire has been prepared for these three facilities. Multinomial logit modeling concept has been applied to estimate probability and category of satisfaction levels of different facilities. Analysis shows that 38.4% of total pedestrians were having problems while walking due to illegal on-street parking and vending encroachment as they covers maximum space of the sidewalks.
