Abstract

Roads and sidewalks of Hacettepe Campus Children's Emergency were investigated in order to determine the congestion in the "emergency zone" in this area and improvement effects to different road quality methods were discussed. Both level of service of roads (LOS) and sidewalks (PLOS) were studied by using different methods as Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), Landis and Australian methods. As the result of study, since the terrain in the region is not suitable for vehicles, the pedestrian path was narrowed to reduce the traffic on the vehicle road and significantly reduce the problem. In addition, the methods used in the PLOS calculation were found to be deficient in terms of applicability. When comparing the different methods AUSTRALIAN method more realistic results as it has more generalizable perspective than others in this study.
