Measuring objective and subjective effects of pedestrian congestion (MOSEPC)

The project aims to combine methods for assessing objective effects of pedestrian congestion with approaches that capture subjective experiences, in order to develop a more nuanced understanding of which aspects of congestion at public transport stations different traveller groups find problematic. The project addresses an important research gap, and the results may inform improved station design. The long-term goal is to initiate research that supports better planning of pedestrian areas at public transport stations, with a particular focus on the relationship between subjective perceptions and quantitative metrics.
