We use the term pedestrian modelling to encompass a broad range
of issues and challenges our clients face which require clear and
informative advice on how to get the best solution to enable people
to be able and want to use space in the most effective and safe way.
In its broadest sense, pedestrian modelling seeks to optimise the
planning and operation of a predefined area through which the movement
of individuals often involves operational processes, who are faced
by time constraints. Historically, pedestrian modelling has most
widely been applied to metro/ station design and redevelopment but
at MVA we use these skills and expertise across a range of operational
challenges as you can see from our case studies.
Our skills and professional expertise makes use of static analysis
calculations based on design capacities, spreadsheet models and pedestrian
flow models including LEGION, PEDROUTE and PAXPORT. We seek to provide
innovation which is of value and benefit to our clients, enabling
us to develop our expertise across a range of market sectors.
We understand and realise the importance of careful
planning and consideration of the needs of customers and staff
in assessing the impact and scale of proposed designs. We seek
to make it as easy and effective as possible for people to use
our client’s scheme
in a safe manner. To achieve this, our preferred approach is to work
closely with clients and design teams to ensure the ultimate success
of each project.
