Abstract

Grade-separated pedestrian networks, which are generally partial networks that serve as alternative systems to regular sidewalk networks, are analyzed. Indicators for selecting new grade-separated links for implementation, out of many available, are proposed. The proposals include measures of network connectivity (considering land use in, and separation of, origin-destination pairs) and network circuitry. A microcomputer program GSPCS has been developed to assist planners. Several examples are given based on the city of Calgary PLUS 15 elevated walkway system.
