Walking the city: Digital infrastructure for pedestrian mobility

行人通道、人流和管理对城市生活至关重要。然而，与其他形式的移动性相比，行人的移动性要复杂得多。目前，在室外和室内环境中，各种不兼容的行人路线图使得任何分析都存在偏差和不透明。该项目旨在通过开发通用且必须分层的步行路线图来解决这一问题，以支持诸如城市可步行(健康)、空间和资产管理(引导、流量管理)和公共安全(疏散)等关键应用。与传统算法不同的是，我们将采用一种基于人类认知的新方法来定义这个泛图，然后将拓扑学和几何学结合起来。

Pedestrian access, flow and management are critical for urban life. However, compared to other forms of mobility pedestrian mobility is significantly more complex. Currently, various incompatible pedestrian route graphs in both outdoor and indoor environments render any analysis biased and non-transparent. This project aims to solve this problem by developing a universal and necessarily hierarchical pedestrian route graph to support critical applications such as urban walkability (health), space and asset management (guidance, flow management), and public safety (evacuation). In contrast to conventional algorithms, we will take a novel approach based on human cognition to define this universal graph and then integrate topology and geometry.
