Abstract

This research aims to understand traffic behaviors in a central urban area by investigating the pedestrian travel patterns of each city and district with in a city. Although the number of steps of movement between facilities varies with the representative means of transport even in the city, when comparison is made among different cities, the level of public transportation infrastructure is highly relevant to differentiate the distance traveled on foot It was found that, even for the same pedestrian behavior patterns, the energy consumption of those in a central urban area is larger than those in suburban shopping center.
