Pedestrian Accessibility and Movement Environment Laboratory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pedestrian Accessibility and Movement Environment Laboratory (PAMELA) is a research facility located at University College London in the United Kingdom. It's designed to study human interactions in controlled conditions by replicating real-world environments such as urban streets and public parks. The laboratory has an 80-square-metre (860 sq ft) artificial pavement platform which is used to simulate everyday scenarios, from different types of pedestrians to varying pavement conditions.[1] Its experiments are intended to create safer streets and more user-friendly public spaces.[2]
