Presentation
Keoni Wasano introduced guest speaker, Dr. Roger Chen, an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Maryland, College Park and his B.S. and M.S. degrees from the University of Texas at Austin. He then did a presentation on Understanding Pedestrian Route Choices where he presented results from the pedestrian route choice study of community members on the University of Hawaii at Manoa campus. Their goal is to expand on the vehicular network to get a complete pedestrian network. They used the UH Manoa campus as a case study with GPS trackers on the volunteers and mapped the pedestrian network for the campus as the result.
