A Study on the Suitability of Pedestrian Walkways around King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi

Abstract

The research on the suitability of sidewalks around King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi aimed to study the Level of Service (LOS) of the sidewalks surrounding the university and to use the analytical data as a basis for improving and developing the sidewalks in the future. Currently, all sectors emphasize the importance of improving sidewalks. The principle used to evaluate the quality and efficiency of sidewalks is the Level of Service (LOS) metric. The LOS of a sidewalk is a tool for assessing the quality and efficiency of the walking path that pedestrians experience. The study was conducted in four locations around the sidewalks of King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi. The analysis revealed that all the areas studied had a Level of Service (LOS) rating of A, indicating that the sidewalks in these areas are spacious, allowing pedestrians to walk freely and comfortably.
