Abstract

The design of slow-moving systems in colleges and universities is a critical factor in ensuring the safety, convenience, and comfort of campus transportation. This study focuses on the Huangjiahu Campus of Wuhan University of Science and Technology, conducting an in-depth analysis of the current shortcomings in the campus’s slow-moving system with respect to safety, convenience, and comfort. The analysis employs the PLPS research method and statistical analysis, while the satisfaction with the slow-moving transportation system is further assessed using the IPA method. The study identifies key factors affecting the performance of the slow-moving system and proposes improvement measures based on the evaluation results. These measures aim to enhance campus transportation efficiency, improve environmental quality, and increase the vitality and attractiveness of campus spaces. This study offers a theoretical basis and practical strategies for optimizing the slow-moving transportation system at the Huangjiahu Campus of Wuhan University of Science and Technology and other institutions of higher education. It also provides guidance for planning and improving slow-moving transportation systems in urban planning, contributing significant academic and practical value.
