Abstract

This paper presents solutions for particular problems commuters encounter during the walking phase of their journey in public transport facilities. Commuters get obstructed or have collisions at bottleneck situations making their walking inefficient and stressful. The notion presented in this paper is to reinforce existing infrastructures with embedded ambient persuasive technologies acting as psychological guiding measures to enhance pedestrian flow.
