Evaluating Pedestrian’s Perception Toward Use of Foot Over Bridge: A Questionnaire Based Approach
摘要
The grade-over facilities are provided for crossing pedestrians in urban regions, but still, it is observed that people are reluctant to use the facility. Hence, the primary focus of the present study is to evaluate the factors affecting pedestrians using and not using the Foot Over Bridges (FOBs). The results showed that avoiding accidents is the primary motivation for all users to use FOB. Further, the results showed that improving cleanliness at FOB can tend most users to use FOB. Further, the nonusers of FOBs gave more preference to the location of FOB from the point of crossing. Results showed that placing the FOB close to bus stops can motivate nonusers to use the FOB. Additionally, the results showed that pedestrians preferred FOB in the region near recreational zones if cleanliness and lifts/escalators were provided.
