ESTIMATION OF SITTING-AND-MOVING BEHAVIOR AND FACE-TO-FACE COMMUNICATION OF OFFICE-WORKERS USING LASER-SCANNER TRAJECTORY DATA

Abstract

A pedestrian tracking system based on high accurate laser scanners is an effective method for understanding the usage of facility-spaces. However, it is difficult to apply them to the practical workplace, since horizontal laser scanners cannot detect workers while they are siting. In this paper, a method for estimating sitting-and-moving behavior and face-to-face communication of workers was proposed by utilizing the concept involving behavior tags to trajectory data. By applying the proposed method to the observation data taken from office-workers behavior survey, we demonstrated the usefulness of the proposed models.
