Abstract: Urbanization processes are accelerating across the globe, leading to significant changes in the structure and organization of urban transport networks. As cities expand, the importance of improving both pedestrian and vehicle traffic infrastructure becomes ever more critical. One aspect that has garnered special attention in recent years is the design and implementation of pedestrian crossings, specifically underground and overground pedestrian crossings, and their influence on the overall efficiency of urban transport systems. The necessity of ensuring both pedestrian safety and the free flow of vehicular traffic underlies the need for constantly improved assessment methods concerning the placement and construction of such crossings. Consequently, the development of novel approaches to calculating the impact of these solutions has become a vital area of research within urban planning and transport engineering.
