Abstract:With the acceleration of urbanization and the improvement of people's living standards, the importance of pedestrian overpasses has become increasingly prominent. Pedestrian overpasses in Beijing have been built for a long time, and limited by the construction conditions and design concepts at that time, which have been unable to meet the needs of the current citizens for the convenience and comfort of the traffic environment. In order to further improve the service level of urban public facilities and meet the travel needs of special groups, it is urgent to study the aging treatment of pedestrian overpasses and the upgrading of barrier-free facilities, and to formulate the solutions. Based on the definition, characteristics and function orientation of the overpass, the existing problems and constraints in the construction of the overpasses in Beijing at present are analyzed, and each factor is analyzed and remarked. Finally, some countermeasures and suggestions are put forward from the aspects of planning, design and management, which provides the assistance to improve the travel environment of citizens.
