Researchers are using computer simulations to mimic the movements of people staggering home after a good night out.
Scientists went on to the streets of Cardiff to get information about drunken behaviour they could feed into their computer model.
The team made 24 visits to the city centre between 11pm and 3am on Friday and Saturday nights, breathalysing people and monitoring their gait.
They hope to come up with street designs that direct late-night revellers safely home to their beds instead of into the path of trouble.
The researchers plan to investigate how moving street obstacles or increasing pedestrianisation might ease congestion around nightspots.
