SPN
Smart cities are walkable: SPN - a model to plan a pedestrian network and a pedestrian navigation system
The aim of the project is to develop and apply a Smart Pedestrian Network (SPN) to assess and improve walkability in cities. The SPN is based on 4 main innovative components:
- Using a spatial-based multi-criteria analysis performed through a geographic information system and a consideration of the wide range of urban criteria;
- Integrating people’s needs and preferences in a pedestrian navigation system;
- Evaluating and ranking the streets/areas according to their walkability;
- Supporting a pedestrian navigation system, an innovative technological application, to help pedestrians find suitable footpaths according to specific criteria and preferences.
