Краткое описание

Fall accidents, which occur as a result of not enough frictionavailable between the floor and shoe bottom for the pedestrian toambulate without slipping, are responsible for a great number ofwalkway accidents. For this reason, characterizations of how muchfriction pedestrians require to ambulate and how much friction isavailable between the foot or shoe bottom and the walkway surfaceare of great import.

This unique, new publication provides ten peer-reviewed paperswhich address the latest global research concerning how muchfriction pedestrians require during ambulation and how to measurebest the friction available between the walkway surface and theshoe bottom. Topics include:

Biomechanics of Ambulation--explores different aspects ofthe relationship between age and pedestrian ambulation, significantbecause fall accidents exact a disproportionate toll on seniorcitizens.

Walkway-Safety Tribometry--presents novel ways ofmeasuring friction, including the design of a simple, inexpensiveramp that can test the friction available between a whole shoe anda walkway-surface sample; and explores issues in tribometrictesting of wet surfaces.

Walkway-Safety Standards Development--explores why it hasbeen so difficult to achieve consensus in the development ofwalkway-safety standards, a difficulty that goes far beyondtechnical issues.

Audience: This volume is a valuable resource for pedestrianwalkway safety researchers; biomedical and gait researchers;forensic engineers; certified safety professionals; andmanufacturers of flooring, polish, and shoes.
