用送餐机器人自动采集人行道数据,提升城市步行友好度分析效率

Leveraging Sidewalk Robots for Walkability-Related Analyses

  • 用配备传感器的送餐机器人在街面采集数据,实现自动化、实时监测
  • 101次行程覆盖900段人行道,发现狭窄、不平路面导致行人变慢且轨迹更不稳
  • 机器人速度可反映行人行为,适合做城市步行环境评估工具

步行友好性是可持续城市发展的重要组成部分。传统方法因成本高、难扩展,难以获取详细的人行道基础设施数据。本文探索利用日益普及的城市送餐机器人作为移动数据采集平台,以可扩展、自动化和实时方式捕捉与步行相关的人行道特征。在斯德哥尔摩KTH校园的街道路网中部署了带传感器的机器人,完成101次行程,共记录900段人行道数据。从数据中提取出机器人行程特征(如速度、时长)、人行道状况(如宽度、表面不平整度)以及人行道使用率(如行人密度)等不同类型特征,并开展系列分析。结果表明,行人运动模式受人行道特征显著影响:密度越高、宽度越窄、表面越不平整,行人速度越慢且轨迹越不稳定。值得注意的是,机器人速度与行人行为高度一致,凸显其作为行人动态代理指标的潜力。该框架支持对人行道状况与行人行为的持续监测,助力打造更具步行友好性、包容性和响应性的城市环境。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Walkability is a key component of sustainable urban development. In walkability studies, collecting detailed pedestrian infrastructure data remains challenging due to the high costs and limited scalability of traditional methods. Sidewalk delivery robots, increasingly deployed in urban environments, offer a promising solution to these limitations. This paper explores how these robots can serve as mobile data collection platforms, capturing sidewalk-level features related to walkability in a scalable, automated, and real-time manner. A sensor-equipped robot was deployed on a sidewalk network at KTH in Stockholm, completing 101 trips covering 900 segment records. From the collected data, different typologies of features are derived, including robot trip characteristics (e.g., speed, duration), sidewalk conditions (e.g., width, surface unevenness), and sidewalk utilization (e.g., pedestrian density). Their walkability-related implications were investigated with a series of analyses. The results demonstrate that pedestrian movement patterns are strongly influenced by sidewalk characteristics, with higher density, reduced width, and surface irregularity associated with slower and more variable trajectories. Notably, robot speed closely mirrors pedestrian behavior, highlighting its potential as a proxy for assessing pedestrian dynamics. The proposed framework enables continuous monitoring of sidewalk conditions and pedestrian behavior, contributing to the development of more walkable, inclusive, and responsive urban environments.
