The aim of this paper is to compare the number of pedestrians in individual directions of street, the total number of pedestrians and the walking speed in three selected locations of the pedestrian zone in Brno’s historical centre. This will be done in order to verify the dependence of pedestrian walking speed on the character of the selected location. This article compares the acquisition of this data both empirically and by digital data collection using a data logger via a Wi-fi signal from the mobile phones of public space users. The outputs are presented as graphs comparing times and measured data from all case studies, complete with comparisons to the digital method.
