Walking is the most basic and ancient mode of transportation that plays a key role in the sustainability of an urban environment. However, there is a big research gap in our understanding of various aspects of pedestrian walking behaviour, both at individual- and collectively at flow-level. For the sustainable planning, design, and operations of urban pedestrian facilities this gap needs to be addressed. The proposed research programme is a unique programme that addresses these issues in a comprehensive manner by developing automated data collection and analysis methods, advanced modelling methodologies, and advanced simulation techniques. We take a multi-disciplinary and holistic view to the problem and propose integrated solutions to the multi-faceted problem. The proposed research will result in development of tools that can be used by the decision makers and planners in the municipalities, public transit agencies, and airports; suggest policies that can improve level of service, decrease GHG/noise exposure, and improve the sustainability of pedestrian facilities; address the challenges associated with changing demographics of Canada; and train high quality researchers and professionals. To our knowledge, this research programme will be the first of its kind in North America, which comprehensively addresses all the major dimensions associated with the planning, design, and operations of the infrastructure for the primary mode of walking.**

步行是最基本、最古老的交通方式，在城市环境的可持续发展中发挥着关键作用。然而，我们对行人步行行为各个方面的理解还存在很大的差距，无论是个人步行行为还是集体步行行为。对于城市步行设施的可持续规划、设计和运营，需要解决这一差距。拟议的研究计划是一个独特的计划，通过开发自动化数据收集和分析方法、高级建模来全面解决这些问题。我们采用多学科和整体的方法论和先进的模拟技术。审视问题并提出针对多方面问题的综合解决方案。拟议的研究将开发可供市政当局、公共交通机构和机场的决策者和规划者使用的工具，并提出可以改进的政策；服务水平，减少温室气体/噪音暴露，并提高步行设施的可持续性；解决与加拿大人口结构变化相关的挑战；并培训高素质的研究人员和专业人员。在北美，它全面解决了所有主要问题与主要步行模式的基础设施的规划、设计和运营相关的维度。**
