Estimating the capacity of pedestrian crossing phases : Phil Shoobridge and Matthew Langdon – Jacobs

Designers of traffic signal junctions spend plenty of time examining the theoretical capacity, but as the importance of active modes of travel increase do we fully understand how many people a new facility might serve?  This paper examines the theoretical capacity of a crossing phase to see how many pedestrians could cross in a single cycle, because there might be times when that is important.
