  1. 1. Experimental study on effective width through openings using Kinect

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Juan Manuel Chaves Posada; [2018]
    Keywords : Kinect; Effective Width; Effective Width Through Openings; Boundary Layer; Flow Through Openings; Pedestrian Tracking; Low-Density Flows; Pedestrian Dynamics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The effective width model was introduced to show how the flow was linearly proportional to the effective width on stairwells accounting for the edge effect as well as lateral body sway. In this sense, small increments on the width of the stairwell were proven to increment the flow through it in a linear manner. READ MORE

  3. 2. A Scoping Review for the Parameters of Crowd Movement

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Andreas Hansen; [2018]
    Keywords : Crowd movement; scoping review; evacuation; age; body projection area; bottlenecks; openings; culture; occupant density; emergency or non-emergency; emotional state; fatigue; fitness; gender; group size; headway; health status; height; lateral sway; personal space; social relations; stair gradient; step frequency; step size; vision; weight; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Existing models which describe crowd movement are running out of time and are failing to take the change of people’s characteristics into account. The purpose of this study is to determine the “state-of- the-art” regarding the research within the field of crowd movement and identify parameters that influence crowd movement. READ MORE

  4. 3. Multivariable System Identification of Human Postural Control. A Subspace Method Approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

    Author : Jonas Ekblad; [1996]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In order to analyse the human postural control system single-stimulus multi-response measurement experiments are made, where the body sway due to an induced disturbance on the calf muscles are recorded with force platforms, Selspot systems or EMG-equipments. The measured outputs are usually analysed one by one as for a Single-Input Single-Output system. READ MORE

  5. 4. Galvanisk balansstimulator

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

    Author : Imran Akhtar; [1993]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A voltage controlled galvanic simulator has been constructed for experiments on human balance. The aim is to gain knowledge about the human body's balancing behaviour and implementation for diagnostic purposes. READ MORE
