Smart steps for sustainable mobility: mapping the pedestrian’s traffic at the University of Moratuwa

Abstract

Navigating the bustling pathways within and around the campus environment is a routine for students. The implementation of a sustainable transportation system within the campus environment is a vital aspect of the creation of a pleasant campus atmosphere [1]. Nevertheless, pedestrian walkways frequently utilized by students still missing adequate attention [2]. Present urban campus environments face challenges in managing pedestrian traffic due to spatial con-straints, inadequate infrastructure, and increased vehicular flow, which directly affects safety and accessibility. In the context of the campus environment, walking is not merely a source of transportation; it is also regarded as a means of social interaction, leisure, and physical activity
