Abstract
Under the people-centred approach, some areas have begun to abandon the network configuration that prioritises vehicles over walking, and create many pedestrian priority zones. In recent years, a new kind of pedestrian priority areas called over-rail plane has emerged with the concept of station-city integration. However, real examples show that not all developments with over-rail plane have been successful, and there is a need to make full use of pedestrian mobility and efficiently layout urban functions. This paper explores a methodology that can help to judge the functional potential within over-rail plane before formal design, and provides a reference for formal design: firstly, the wool algorithm is modified to generate paths with the shortest detours according to the requirements of over-rail plane; and then SDNA tool is applied to identify its flow potential and divide different potential zones for urban function. Taking Chongqing Shapingba Station as an example, this article evaluates the potential of implanting urban functional within over-rail plane and verifies the effectiveness of the method by comparing it with the real design; taking Shenzhen North Station as an example, the article identifies the high-potential areas in the current over-rail plane that can be embedded with additional functions.
