This unit analyzes the dynamics of staying people’s activities and Personal Mobility Vehicles (PMVs) in public spaces. Then, we will evaluate the sense of spatial well-being that citizens feel in public spaces where people’s activity and PMV coexist. This will provide useful knowledge for the ideal public space management of future city.

Research themes
1. Constructing a model for optimal coexistence of staying people’s activity and PMV in public space
Using camera images and LIDAR installed in public spaces, the trajectory of people’s activity and PMV are collected to clarify the characteristics of each dynamic. Then, a model for optimal coexistence of staying people’s activity and PMV in public space will be developed.
2．Evaluation of spatial well-being in public spaces where people’s activity and PMV coexist
The psychological evaluation of the environment in which PMV passes by side of staying people will be conducted on both people and PMV passengers. Then, we evaluate the sense of spatial well-being felt by humans for public spaces where people’s activity and PMV coexist.
Based on these results, we will obtain guidelines for the ideal public space management of future city.
