Abstract
Japanese Barrier-Free Transportation law has brought comfortable life style to a variety of people. Recently,most of buildings and articles of furniture have been designed according to this law. For the recent design of pavement, the color and/or uneven tiles are enhancing the safety of gait space, however there are no numerical conditions in arranging pavement of Barrier-Free Transportation law. Then, this study aims to propose a numerical criterion that is focused on pedestrians' senses in gait motion and aides to design comfortable pedestrian space for people who have several types of gait characteristics. To consider the pedestrian's feelings in gait motion, this study has focused on the mechanism of ankle's joint and surface electiomyography of lower limbs. Both acceleration data around ankle's joint and electromyography of lower limbs are statistically analyzed in this paper.
