IMPACT OF GENDER AND GENDER MIX CONDITION ON PEDESTRIAN FLOW DIAGRAM
Keywords:
Pedestrian accident, Hypothesis check, Fundamental diagram, Z value testAbstract
A study of pedestrian activity may be conducted through multiple methods, including walker’s movement investigation (field data collection), experimental tracking and controlled research, and the development of pedestrian models. All of these various kinds of experiments are subject to simple diagrams. The best solution to understanding how the multiple situations affect the fundamental diagram is to shift a pedestrian down one corridor line under closed boundary conditions. The aim of this research is to analyze the influence of the gender mix on pedestrians at various densities at the fundamental level. The key contribution to the study is to investigate whether it is feasible to use a preferred diagram, whether it is the effect of gender mix conditions on foot movement. For the experiment, five separate gender mix conditions are selected to execute the simplest system known as the pedestrian movement along a line under closed limits (Single File Movement). The average free flow rate has been estimated to be 1.27 m/s for men and 1.24 m/s for women. When women travel, they are more mindful of their private space than men. That may be attributed to inconsistencies in their autonomous behavior. You can’t assume whether there are contrasts without any statistical data. By way of statistical hypothesis checks, quantitatively, these discrepancies remain, recommending in fundamental map that the gender and gender combination be affected.
