        abstract = {Shared space is an innovative streetscape design that seeks minimum
separation between vehicle traffic and pedestrians. Urban design is
moving toward space sharing as a means of increasing the community
texture of street surroundings. Its unique features aim to balance priorities
and allow cars and pedestrians to coexist harmoniously without
the need to dictate behavior. There is, however, a need for a simulation
tool to model future shared space schemes and to help judge whether
they might represent suitable alternatives to traditional street layouts.
This paper builds on the authors' previously published work in which a
shared space microscopic mixed traffic model based on the social force
model (SFM) was presented, calibrated, and evaluated with data from
the shared space link typology of New Road in Brighton, United Kingdom.
Here, the goal is to explore the transferability of the authors' model to
a similar shared space typology and investigate the effect of flow and
ratio of traffic modes. Data recorded from the shared space scheme of
Exhibition Road, London, were collected and analyzed. The flow and
speed of cars and segregation between pedestrians and cars are greater
on Exhibition Road than on New Road. The rule-based SFM for shared
space modeling is calibrated and validated with the real data. On the
basis of the results, it can be concluded that shared space schemes are
context dependent and that factors such as the infrastructural design
of the environment and the flow and speed of pedestrians and vehicles
affect the willingness to share space.},
