Pedestrian’s Level of Service on Tramline Platforms in Budapest

Abstract

The article aims at presenting the analysis of pedestrian behavior at transport stops, with special focus on tram platforms. The most important characteristics of a platform are length and width. Determining the level of service is also applied in international context on the basis of which the area is measurable. This article aims to show these briefly, and provides a recommendation for domestic application while incorporating the most characteristic features. On the basis of the measurement and micro-simulation, recommendation can be made for the level of service. The method of improving the quality of service is shown through the enlargement of the platform’s effective area.
