UAF, Powerful Components Working Together
The Urban Analytics Framework (UAF) is designed to provide an analytical evaluation of the quality of shared spaces for both road traffic and pedestrian users.
Proven Modeling Concepts
The UAF is first and foremost an analysis tool. It is built on solid pedestrian modelling concepts and a tried and tested evaluation methodology which allows the user to clearly identify problem areas in the urban space. This new tool is the first of its kind to consider road traffic and pedestrian interaction in an analytical sense, the first to look beyond simple visualisation to try and answer the “why” question behind the cause and effect of every day urban interactions.
Understanding Interactions
Understanding interactions between both sets of urban space users is the key to designing balanced environments that are efficient for both road traffic and pedestrians, safe and friendly for pedestrians to use, and environmentally sensitive.
The UAF allows city planners to understand these interactions at the design stage, prior to implementation, thus improving the quality of understanding and providing a solid engineering foundation to aid the urban design decision making process.
