Abstract
Safety and smoothness in pavement for pedestrians are required. It has been put in various methods other than method for measurement of walking sensation. However, systematic quantitative evaluation methods have not yet been established. In this study, new pavement in our pavements is added and wireless equipment is introduced, denoising and normalizing using % maximal voluntary contraction on surface electromyogram is processed. Effects on the lower legs due to physical properties of pavement are evaluated quantitatively. Between the physical properties and muscular activities are clarified, and systematisms is tried. As a result, it is clarified that the muscular activities of the lower legs vary with a tendency of one graphical form by differing to stiffness and skid resistance of the road surface. Physical properties for measuring muscular activities of the lower legs can be evaluated quantitatively. Thus it is shown possibility that pavement for pedestrians with a viewing point to human can be to introduce an item of evaluation index.
