For the construction of new sidewalks and maintenance of existing sidewalks, the estimation of pedestrian level of service (PLOS) is needed, for which there is no proper methodology in India. The aim of this study is to propose a method for the evaluation of PLOS at sidewalk, based on quantitative and qualitative data. The required model parameters were collected from videographic and questionnaire surveys conducted at selected nine sidewalks in Chennai, India. Significant parameters were identified and PLOS model was developed using stepwise regression analysis method. The developed model was validated using the field data and the results showed that the performance level of the proposed model was more precise and produced reliable solutions. The model applications were proposed and analyzed theoretically with three improvement measures. The developed model can be used by road designers to find the wellness of a particular sidewalk that accommodates pedestrian travel mode.
