7. Design Issues n What are the fundamental design and performance variables involved in designing a circulation system? n How are these fundamental design (d), performance (p), and contextual (c) variables related? P=f(c,d)

8. What is Congestion? Congestion occurs mainly as a result of increased number of pedestrians and vehicles competing for the limited space of a corridor or roadway segment. Congestion occurs mainly as a result of increased number of pedestrians and vehicles competing for the limited space of a corridor or roadway segment.

9. Empirical Model n n The service rate (speed) decays within a corridor Since there is a finite amount of available space within each corridor, the density of pedestrians reaches an upper limit (jam density). Since there is a finite amount of available space within each corridor, the density of pedestrians reaches an upper limit (jam density).
