the design of tourist walkways and developments of strategies for more prolonged presence of people at ancientcontextures are considered as vivid multiple procedures in protecting of contexture, tour guiding and urbansustainability. shading in open spaces and pathways, especially in tourist areas, is one of the most important factorsin providing the thermal comfort perception. so in innovation ...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of walkway length (5, 8 or 10 m) on measurements of comfortable and maximum walking speed. DESIGN A cross-sectional study. SETTING University-based rehabilitation centre. SUBJECTS Patients (n = 25) with chronic stroke. METHODS Timed walking with different walkway lengths (5, 8 and 10 m) walkways were recorded using a stop-watch. RESULTS No signific...

We consider algorithms for finding the optimal location of a simple transportation device, that we call a moving walkway, consisting of a pair of points in the plane between which the travel speed is high. More specifically, one can travel from one endpoint of the walkway to the other at speed v > 1, but can only travel at unit speed between any other pair of points. The travel time between any...

The Walkway Management System (WMS) uses geographic information system (GIS) software to calculate an estimate for the level of maintenance required for walkway segments. It then assists the user in prioritising the maintenance on segments of the walkway that require repair. The development of the WMS is a cooperative effort between a team of researchers at Lincoln University and Department of ...

Design procedures for walkways are referenced to Ievel-of-sewice (LOS) standards. The recommended standards of Table 1 incorporate relative measures of the prevailing unit flow rates, area modules, and speed. LOS criteria are situationally subjective because different perceptions of crowding will occur in different environments. Consequently, the applicability of a set of LOS standards to a par...

The objective of the current study was to evaluate the effect of walkway perturbation training on human dynamic walking stability and slip propensity. A new walkway perturbation training program was developed using an instrumented, split-belt treadmill. Walkway surface perturbation was composed of multiple, randomized perturbation pulses. Each pulse was created by sudden accelerating the treadm...

Objective. To investigate the use of the six-minute walk test (6MWT) for stroke survivors, including adherence to 6MWT protocol guidelines and distances achieved. Methods. A systematic search was conducted from inception to March 2014. Included studies reported a baseline (intervention studies) or first instance (observational studies) measure for the 6MWT performed by stroke survivors regardle...
