Overview

Randomized trial evaluates street infrastructure preferences in transit users, highlighting safety and comfort differences by time of day.

Key Points

  • This study examines how street infrastructure influences route choices of transit users during daytime and nighttime walking trips.
  • Conducted a visual route-choice experiment with 651 transit users in Guiyang, China.
  • Utilized a mixed logit model to analyze preferences based on individual characteristics and route attributes.
  • Evaluated street infrastructure preferences during both daytime and nighttime walking scenarios.
  • Pedestrians preferred routes to metro stations with narrower driveways and wider pavements during the daytime.
  • Preference for tree- or hedge-lined walkways was noted for daytime walking.
  • Adequate lighting and surveillance are essential for addressing night-time security concerns.
