Energy-Efficient Dynamic Street Lighting Optimization: Balancing Pedestrian Safety and Energy Conservation

Buildings
Residential street lighting plays a crucial role in enhancing the reassurance for pedestrians returning home late at night. However, street lighting is sometimes recommended and required to be kept at lower levels at night, due to problems such as light ...

Spin-Glass Theory for Pedestrians

, 2005
In these notes the main theoretical concepts and techniques in the field of mean-field spin-glasses are reviewed in a compact and pedagogical way, for the benefit of the graduate and undergraduate student. One particular spin-glass model is analyzed (the

Evacuation in the Social Force Model is not stationary

, 2011
An evacuation process is simulated within the Social Force Model. Thousand pedestrians are leaving a room by one exit. We investigate the stationarity of the distribution of time lags between instants when two successive pedestrians cross the exit.

Pedestrian accessibility of services as a measure of territorial cohesion at the neighbourhood level

Bulletin of Geography. Socio-Economic Series, 2020
Territorial cohesion, despite its initial ambiguity, has been successfully implemented in national and regional policies across the EU. However, its operationalisation on the local level remains a major challenge.

The Lived Experience of Crossing the Road When You Have Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD): The Perspectives of Parents of Children With DCD and Adults With DCD

Frontiers in Psychology, 2020
Pedestrians are one of the most vulnerable groups at the roadside, furthermore, previous research has demonstrated perceptual-motor limitations in individuals with DCD which may put these individuals at even more at risk in the context of road crossing ...

A Data-driven Model for Interaction-aware Pedestrian Motion Prediction in Object Cluttered Environments

, 2018
This paper reports on a data-driven, interaction-aware motion prediction approach for pedestrians in environments cluttered with static obstacles. When navigating in such workspaces shared with humans, robots need accurate motion predictions of the ...

A Statistical Approach for Modeling Individual Vertical Walking Forces

Applied Sciences, 2021
This paper proposes a statistical approach for modeling vertical walking forces induced by single pedestrians. To account for the random nature of human walking, the individual vertical walking force is modeled as a series of steps and the gait ...
