STEP 1.5 Spreadsheet Assessment Using the data and information collected in steps 1.1 to 1.5, use the “Worksheet (Footway)” tab of the spreadsheet to calculate the crowding and therefore the Pedestrian Comfort Level for each of the locations on your site. Figure 3 below shows how the spreadsheet looks. 1. Input Activity Data For each location enter the activity data for the site • • • • • Location name - this is defined by you. Area Type - this is a drop down box. Average Flow - average of all the samples taken throughout the survey hours. Peak Hour Flow- average of the samples recorded in the peak hour. Average of Maximum Activity - this is automatically calculated by the spreadsheet as a check. It is based on an average of the busiest 10 second samples from the research underpinning the project. 2. Input Measurement Data Using your measurements taken on site or from records such as a topographic survey and the buffer zones from street furniture (outlined in Appendix C) complete the measurement data for each location - this is columns J to V and is measured in metres. If, after the consideration of street furniture and its buffer zone, there is any space for movement that is less than 0.6m wide (a standard body ellipse) this should be entered into column M “Any unsuable width” in metres. 08:03, 25/01/2010 Location Type Area Type Average Flow Peak Hour Flow Figure 3 The “Worksheet (Footway)” tab Ave of Max Activity Total Building Width Edge?
