This document contains both new and revised procedures for analyzing various types of exclusive and mixed-use pedestrian facilities. These procedures are recommended to determine the level of service for pedestrian facilities on the basis of a summary of available U.S. and international literature, as described in the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) document, "Literature Synthesis for Chapter 13, Pedestrians, of the Highway Capacity Manual," by these same authors. These procedures are scheduled for incorporation into a revised U.S. Highway Capacity Manual in 2000.75
