Pedestrian Level of Service - Link and Segment Calculator

Calculations based on Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) - Sixth Edition.

This calculator determines both Link and Segment PLOS.
Segment PLOS calculations require all inputs from Link PLOS calculation.

Through lanes per direction:

Is there a continuous barrier at least 3 ft high that is located between the sidewalk and outside edge of roadway:

Is there a curb present?:

Total walkway width (ft):

Width of buffer (ft):

Proportion of sidewalk length adjacent to a window display (Default=0.00):

Proportion of building length adjacent to a building face (Default=0.00):

Proportion of sidewalk length adjacent to a fence or low wall (Default=0.00):

Proportion of on street parking occupied (Default=0.00):

Effective width of fixed objects inside of subject sidewalk (ft):

Effective width of fixed objects outside of subject sidewalk (ft):

Pedestrian flow rate in the subject sidewalk, walking in both directions (ped/hr):

Pedestrian free flow walking speed (ft/sec):

Pedestrian delay of pedestrians traveling parallel the segment centerline (s):

Pedestrian delay of pedestrians who cross the segment at nearest signal-controlled crossing (s):

Pedestrian delay of pedestrians waiting for a gap to cross the segment at an uncontrolled location (s):

Length of segment, from stop bar to stop bar (ft):

Average vehicle travel time through segment distance (s):

Midsegment demand flow rate (vehicles/hr):

Available sidewalk width (ft):

Width of outside through lane (ft):

Width of paved outside shoulder (ft):

Width of bicycle lane (ft):

Width of striped parking lane (ft):

Distance to the nearest signal-controlled crossing (ft):

Is the boundary intersection signalized or two-way stop controlled?:

Cycle Length - for intersection LOS (s):

Total walkway width of sidewalk A - for intersection LOS (ft):

Total walkway width of sidewalk B - for intersection LOS (ft):

Radius of corner curb - for intersection LOS (ft):

Number of pedestrians arriving at the corner during each cycle to cross major street - for intersection LOS (p):

Effective walking time for the phase serving the minor street through movement - for intersection LOS (s):

Flow rate of pedestrians arriving at the corner TO cross the major street - for intersection LOS (ped/hr):

Flow rate of pedestrians arriving at the corner AFTER crossing the minor street - for intersection LOS (ped/hr):

Flow rate of pedestrians arriving at the corner TO cross the minor street - for intersection LOS (ped/hr):

Flow rate of pedestrians arriving at the corner AFTER crossing the major street - for intersection LOS (ped/hr):

Flow rate of pedestrians traveling through the corner from sidewalk A to sidewalk B - for intersection LOS (ped/hr):

Length of crosswalk - for intersection LOS (ft):

Effective width of crosswalk - for intersection LOS (ft):

Permitted left-turn vehicle demand flow rate - for intersection LOS (veh/hr):

Right-turn vehicle demand flow rate - for intersection LOS (veh/hr):

Right-turn-on-red vehicle flow rate - for intersection LOS (veh/hr):

Vehicle demand flow rate - for intersection LOS (veh/hr):

85th percentile speed at a midsegment location on the major street - for intersection LOS (mi/hr):
