Data Collection of Movement and Behaviour of Pedestrians in Stadia
In this chapter, the observational portion of the study is discussed. Three data collection trials were performed on three days (preliminary rounds, quarterfinals, and finals) in 2018. Video footage and stationary photos were taken and reviewed with each mobility case timestamped and logged in a data sheet. Movement profiles of mobility related disabilities (defined as individuals using mobility aids such as canes, wheelchairs, and crutches), those with reduced mobility (families with young children or those carrying oversized luggage), non-disabled persons, those visibly living with obesity, and those who consumed alcohol were generated. A total of 2397 mobility related cases which may affect movement were considered throughout filming which was approximately 3.46% of the total population. Of those mobility cases, 215 were disabled (0.31% of the total population). This percentage of the mobility-related disabled population is not reflective of the Canadian population (9.6% for Canadians aged 15 years and older identify as having directly a mobility related disability). As well, the total mobility cases were largely represented by those with reduced mobility which shows that disability is not a result of only physical requirements. Results from the movement speed profiles show that overall, non-disabled persons move faster than mobility related disabled persons. Additionally, those using assistive movement devices with wheels (for example, a wheelchair), moved faster than those without (ex. crutches).
