Children's Pedestrian Route Selection: Efficacy of a Video and Internet Training Protocol.

Simulation of Pedestrian Dynamics with Macroscopic and Microscopic Mathematical Models

Here, we collect two parts of a research project on the pedestrian flow modeling. Rapid growth in the volume of public transport and the need for its reasonable, efficient planning have made the description and modeling of transport and pedestrian behaviors as important research topics in the past twenty years. First, we present a macroscopic model for the pedestrian flow based on continuum mec...

Effects of Picture Prompts Delivered by a Video iPod on Pedestrian Navigation

r: Transportation access is a major contributor to independence, productivity, and societal inclusion for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). This study examined tbe effects of pedestrian navigation training using picture prompts displayed througb a video . iPod on travel route completion witb 4 adults witb IDD. Results indicated a functional relation between pic...

Comparison of the effect of training by video and group discussion on the level of stress, anxiety, depression and self-efficacy of patients undergoing pacemaker and cardiac implantation defibrillator

Maternal Stress and Sleep of Hospitalized Children: The Effects of a Using Video Call Intervention to Improve Family-Centered Care

Introduction: Stress and anxiety in the parents and caregivers can prevent the mother from adapting to the hospital environment and supporting her child. In fact, any disturbance in the behavior of parents, including the mother, can have a negative effect on their child's sleep. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of using video call intervention on improving family-centered car...

Simulating Knowledge and Information in Pedestrian Egress

Accurate pedestrian simulation is a difficult yet important task. One of the main challenges with pedestrian simulation is providing the simulated pedestrians with appropriate amounts of route knowledge to be used in the route selection algorithm. In this paper, we propose a novel use of reinforcement learning as a means to represent different amounts of route knowledge. Using this techniques w...
