Description
Summary:As Singapore continues aims for its car-lite vision, there is a need to ensure that the safety level of walkway is adequate for the users with its increased usage as people switch to active mobility modes. This study is to assist in the development of walkway by analysing their safety. A literature review shows a strong positive correlation between the comfort level and the safety level of the walkway. Through the use of Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), the results showed three factors: condition of walkway, clear direction on walkway and differential speed between active mobility modes, which has a correlation with the comfort level of the walkway. The study is concluded with suggestion for further studies as the unprecedented COVID-19 introduced several limitations to the study.
