Purposes
• To provide a summary of the pedestrian survey undertaken in
November 2013 and headline survey statistics;
• To estimate campus entry/exit volumes for a typical weekday;
and
• To develop Origin-Destination (OD) matrices of the existing
pedestrian flows during the AM, Midday and PM peak periods
and identify key movements.

• Room booking information of 26 November
2013 was provided by UCL
• AM, Midday and PM peak periods data have
been analysed and the building occupancy load
are shown in diagrams

•
UCL data shows discrepancy between entry and exit flows resulting in large volume of people
left over in campus at the end of the day.
•
Arup data shows more balanced flows in and out of campus.
•
Movement profiles are highly sensitive to the timetable of the day. 13:00 is a common peak
in both sets of data.

Campus Entry/Exit Demand Estimation - Methodology

• Entry/exit volumes at the non-surveyed
locations have been estimated:
-
Time of day profiles are based on observed at
Gordon Street & Malet Place on Tuesday 26
November 2013
-
Volumes are based on the relative proportion
calculated using UCL data
-
Entry/exit splits are based on survey

• OD Matrices of the AM, Midday and
PM 2-hour peak periods have been
developed and have considered 5 main
campus access points and 4 campus
zones (i.e. Q1-Q4)
• Proportions of movements between
each O-D pair are based on the
interview survey results
• The developed matrices have been
validated using UCL room booking
information and the South Quad cordon
counts

•
Key internal movement is fairly consistent across the day, between Quarters 2 and 3 via South Quad/Junction.
•
Movement from Quarter 1 to 2 increased towards lunch time as more lectures/visits to library took place in Quarter 2.

Conclusions
Key Movements
• In the AM peak period, the key movements include:
- External: entry from Malet Place, Gordon Street and Gower Street gates
- Internal: intra Q2 and from Q2 to Q3
• In the Midday peak period, the key movements include:
- External: entry/exit from/to Malet Place, Gordon Street , Gower Street and
Union
- Internal: intra Q2 and from Q2 to Q3
• In the PM peak period, the key movements include:
- External: entry/exit from/to Malet Place, Gordon Street and Gower Street
- Internal: intra Q2 and from Q2 to Q3
22
Conclusions
Next Steps
• Liaise with other UCL departments
to include other relevant data (e.g.
library usage; security door counts,
etc.) and validate outputs.
• Agree future survey requirements.
• Identify construction phases and
design iterations to be assessed.
