Distance-Keeping: Influence of the StreetScape (Dist-KISS)
Basic data for this project
Type of project: Individual project
Duration at the University of Münster: 01/04/2021 - 31/08/2023
Description
This project focuses on the question how the streetscape and potential interventions in it influence physical distancing compliance. The project team will develop and open source agent-based model of pedestrian physical distancing behavior, calibrate it with user experiments in an immersive virtual environment, and run it for various city streetscapes. The model may serve as a tool for planning and ex-ante evaluation of policy interventions in the streetscape targeting to minimize the spread of the COVID-19 disease.
Keywords: COVID-19; physical distancing; compliance; streetscape; agent-based model; policy interventions
