Pedestrian facilities encompass pedestrian roads, stairs, and queuing areas exclusively designed for pedestrian use. The Korean Highway Capacity Manual provides guidelines for analyzing the capacity and level of service of pedestrian facilities. However, there is a lack of analysis methods tailored specifically for pedestrian facilities. Therefore, in this study, we introduced a new standard of pedestrian space to account for changes in the Korean body ellipse. Furthermore, based on this newly defined pedestrian space, we proposed a new standard value for the level of service of queuing areas. The results of on-site surveys confirmed that the proposed level of service can effectively reflect the actual walking situation.

본 연구에서는 초고층 건축물에서 피난을 할 때 피난자에게 작용하는 신체 조건과 수직적 이동방향에 따른 피난시간을 분석하였다. 초고층 건축물에서의 피난은 특성상 많은 계단을 통해 이동해야 하므로 피난자는 심리적 행동보다 주로 신체적 능력에 의존하는데, 이 때 피난자의 피로도는 계단수가 올라갈수록 급격히 상승하게 된다. 즉, 총 피난시간은 단순히 피난자의 평지 보행속도에 비례하여 증감할 뿐만 아니라 체력 등의 다른 신체적 영향 또한 받게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 피난자의 신체조건을 고려한 피난예상시간을 산정하기 위해 필요한 조건들을 연구하고자 실물 실험에서의 상 하향의 보행방향과 참가자들의 신체조건에 따른 피난시간을 통계적으로 분석하였다.

본 연구는 동작분석장치를 이용하여 하지동작분석을 시도함으로서 실제 동작 시 적응 할 수 있는 의복설계를 위한 기초 자료로서 하지부 실루엣 변화의 특성을 밝히고자 하였다. 대퇴돌기점을 기준으로 본 하지동작의 진행방향 이동과 상향 방향이동을 살펴보았는데 보행유형에 따라 여유량이 특히 요구되는 부위가 각기 다르며, 부위별 필요 여유 량도 각기 다르다는 것을 알 수 있었으며 , 이러한 보행유형 별 스커트 실루엣의 특징은 기능복 설계 시 고려되어야 하겠다. 평지보행 시는 발목부위가 전면방향보다 후면방향으로 이동의 범위가 크므로 트임이나 주름이 뒷면에 있는 것이 적합하고, 계단승강이나 버스승강의 경우 무릎전면에 여유량이 필요하므로 주름이나 트임을 앞쪽에 주는 것이 바람직하며 그 길이는 대퇴돌기점 높이정도에서 시작하여야 하고 무릎아래에 있는 앞트임은 하지동작에 도움이 되지 않음을 알 수 있었다.

2005년 10월 서울시는 47년 만에 청계천을 약 5.8km 구간에 걸쳐 정비하여 서울중심에 새로운 물길을 열었다. 청계천의 경관조명은 청계천의 남북을 이어주는 22개의 다리, 청계천을 동서로 가로지르는 산책로를 비롯하여 다양한 청계천 주변 요소에 청계천을 이용하는 보행자들을 위한 경관조명을 복원되는 전 구간(5.8km)에 약40억을 들여 설치하였다. 이중 산책로는 보행자가 가장 많이 이용하는 요소이며, 청계천의 주변 경관에 다채로운 야경을 연출하여 청계천에 아이덴티티와 방향성을 지니게 하고 야간에 산책로를 이용하는 보행자들에게 즐거움과 여유로움을 주고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 도심내 수변가로로 대표되는 청계천 산책로를 대상으로 조명환경의 특성을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 산책로에 대하여 수평면조도를 측정하고 기준값과 비교하였다. 조도의 특성을 분석한 결과 청계광장 산책로 입구, 광통교 밑부분, 산책로와 연결되는 4곳의 계단 등이 KS기준조도와 비교하여 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 산책로의 경우 수평면조도에 문제가 없는 것으로 분석되었지만 주거지역의 경우에만 일부분 기준조도에 비해 부족한 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate alterations of pregnant gait by means of 3 different treads of stairs. 9 subjects(body masses; $59.41{\pm}7.49$, $64.03{\pm}6.65$, $67.26{\pm}7.58$, heights; $160.50{\pm}6.35$ ages; $31.22{\pm}2.99$; parity; $1.67{\pm}0.71$) participated in three experiments that were divided by physiological symptoms(the early(0-15 weeks), middle(16-27 weeks) and last(18-39 weeks), and walked at self-selected pace on 4 staircases 3 trials. As extending the pregnancy period, cadence was shorter but cycle time was longer more and more and the difference of maximum and minmum moments between right and left knee joint moment was smaller. With the treads of stair decent lengthening, speed and stride lengths were increased. As extending the treads of stair decent, joint moments of both feet were particular traits, hip joint was asymmetric but joint moments of knee and ankle were symmetric. These findings may account for relation between the treads of stair and moments and suggest that women may adapt their gait to maximize stability and to control gait motion for themselves in pregnant women.

This paper presents the vibration reduction algorithm at the walking-will recognition sensors on the uneven terrain. Recently, concern about walking assistant aids is increasing according to the increase in population of elder and handicapped person. However, most of walking aids don't have any actuators for its movement. So, general walking aids have weakness for its movement to upward/download direction of slope. To overcome the weakness of the general walking aids, many researches for active type walking aids are being progressed. Especially, vibration analysis and impulse reduction are one of the important elements of the active-type walking aid during moving on the outdoor area because the ground has many kinds of obstacles such as speed dumps, puddles and so on. So, we analyze the influence from vibration by uneven terrain. And then, we propose the impulse reduction algorithm to overcome the vibration. All the processes are verified experimentally in an active-type walking aid.

As the numbers of users of domestic passenger ships increased up to 14.5 millions at 2012, the numbers of ships accidents also increased as 2 times than ever. It will be very important to develop technologies related with safety design for onboard passengers and disclose the potential problems. This study performed consciousness survey on ordinary peoples' way finding who have not got any regular anti-disaster training, to develop evacuation models for evacuation feasibility studies. Followings are the results answered by 83 participants for 33 way finding questions. Respondents selected right ways more than 6~18% for 2 ways like T type, U type, Y type passages. But when there are some walkers and/or runners, respondents preferred to select the way where walkers or runners are. And more over the ratio of the ways that runners are on is comparatively higher than walkers. On 'ㅏ'type, 'ㅓ'type and 3 way type passages, even though the walkers and/or runners are affected to answerers, straight way were most preferred. And it is clear that peoples like bright passages. On the other hands, peoples responded as they like right, downward and near stairs more than left, upward and far stairs, respectively. and very few selected escalator and elevator for as evacuation stairs.

In the paper, we propose an intelligent walking algorithm of biped robot on the uneven ground and a posture stabilization algorithm against external forces. At first, the mechanics and the control system of biped robot that can walk on the uneven ground and stand external forces are designed. We propose obstacle hurdling, incline walking. and going-up stairs algorithm by using infrared sensors and FSR sensors. Also, posture stabilization algorithm against external forces is designed using FSR sensors. Infrared sensors ate used to detect the obstacles in the working environment and FSR sensors are used to obtain the ZMP of biped robot. The developed biped robot can be controlled by the remote control system using vision system and RF module. The experimental results show that the biped robot Performs obstacle avoidance, obstacle hurdling, walking on the inclined plane, and going up stairs using the proposed walking and stabilization algorithm.

This paper proposes a system for classifying gait types using an ensemble deep learning network for gait data measured by a smart insole equipped with multi-sensors. The gait type classification system consists of a part for normalizing the data measured by the insole, a part for extracting gait features using a deep learning network, and a part for classifying the gait type by inputting the extracted features. Two kinds of gait feature maps were extracted by independently learning networks based on CNNs and LSTMs with different characteristics. The final ensemble network classification results were obtained by combining the classification results. For the seven types of gait for adults in their 20s and 30s: walking, running, fast walking, going up and down stairs, and going up and down hills, multi-sensor data was classified into a proposed ensemble network. As a result, it was confirmed that the classification rate was higher than 90%.

The aims of this study are to verify the relationships of evacuee speed and affections to the evacuation time according to the width of corridor and stairs in university education facilities. To achieve these purposes, the present conditions of university education facilities were analyzed, and the evacuation experiments were executed in relation to the width of corridor and stairs. The results of this study are as follows ; (1) The deviations of numbers of residents per stair is very high, and the number and width of stairs, corridors are only depend on the minimum guidelines of building code, not considering the residents' evacuation. (2) The width of corridor and stairs are affects on the evacuation speed and time. The rate of decreasing speed is large in stairs, and also the possibility of danger is increasing depend on the speed and density.
