The pedestrian walking speed is prime importance in a study of design, function and provision of pedestrian facilities. It is quite difficult for the designers to understand the relationship between pedestrian flow characteristic and pedestrian movement by only using their experience and senses. The interactions between pedestrian is hard to understand. Therefore, this paper to review studies from others to better understand the pedestrian flow characteristic, focusing on the pedestrian behavior at stairways and escalator at public transport terminal. This paper addressed the pedestrian movement which includes the walking speed and the relationship between their demographic variables such as age, pedestrian characteristics and also physical characteristic of stairways and escalator.
