Hello Rui,
Here are some early articles on methodology of urban pedestrian flow
sampling that you might find interesting:
Benham, J., Patel, B. (1976) A method for Estimating Pedestrian Volume
in a Central Business District, Transportation Research Record, Vol.
629, 22-26.
Pushkarev, B., Zupan, J. (1975) Urban Space for Pedestrians, MIT Press,
Cambridge, MA.
These are the first descriptions of 'gate' type counts that I've seen.
There were a few multiple regression based pedestrian flow models in the
1970s that touched on this. See page 5 of
http://www.intelligentspace.com/download/Pedestrian%20Demand%20Modelling%20of%20Large%20Cities.pdf
for a discussion and references at the end.
One of the least published aspects of flow sampling methodology is the
issue of tackling seasonal variance. Anyone seen any good articles on this?
