Abstract:This paper presents the measurement and model updating of a pedestrian's center of mass trajectory. A mathematical model proposed by the authors [1] is updated using the actual trajectory of a pedestrian. The mathematical model is based on the principle that a human's control capability tries to maintain balance with respect to the pedestrian's center of mass (CoM), independently of the surface type. In this research, the human is considered as a mass point concentrated at CoM. The parameters of the models are… Show more
