Walking is one of the most important modes of travel, so pedestrian facilities are currently attracting the interest of various researchers. But, due to rapid urbanisation traffic congestion has become a major problem for safe pedestrian movement. It is necessary to objectively quantify how well roadways accommodate pedestrian movement. Due to more urbanisation and also large distance between the successive intersections people are forced to cross at midblock. This paper aims in understanding pedestrian characteristics which is a fundamental in pedestrian planning process, by developing a model consisting of basic parameters (speed, flow and density) which fits best for the collected data. Pedestrian data required are retrieved using videography technique during morning and evening peak hours of a day at Kukatpally and Nizampet signalised midblocks in Hyderabad city. In this paper, Greenshields’s macroscopic stream model is used to find the important parameters like free flow speed (vf), max flow (Qmax) and jam density (kj). A statistical model using statistical regression analysis and soft computing Artificial Neural Network (ANN) technique is developed using the basic parameters flow, speed and density. The R square obtained for the model using regression analysis is 0.67 and R value obtained using ANN is 0.91649.
