Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Walking is one of the important actions of the human body. For this purpose, the human brain communicates with leg muscles through the nervous system. Based on the walking path, leg muscles act differently. Therefore, there should be a relation between the activity of leg muscles and the path of movement. OBJECTIVE: In order to address this issue, we analyzed how leg muscle activity is related to the variations of the path of movement. METHOD: Since the electromyography (EMG) signal is a feature of muscle activity and the movement path has complex structures, we used entropy analysis in order to link their structures. The Shannon entropy of EMG signal and walking path are computed to relate their information content. RESULTS: Based on the obtained results, walking on a path with greater information content causes greater information content in the EMG signal which is supported by statistical analysis results. This allowed us to analyze the relation between muscle activity and walking path. CONCLUSION: The method of analysis employed in this research can be applied to investigate the relation between brain or heart reactions and walking path.

Abstract:

Walkability is one of the keys in developing a sustainable city. These days, many cities have considered enhancing walkability for pedestrian paths to ensure the seamless walking experience for people to reach their destination. Therefore, it is very important to have a good walking environment so people will find walking pleasant. However, there was a lack of studies attempting to include indoor walking environments in their walkability analysis. Most of them only consider outdoor walking paths. This might be due to the difficulties in modelling the indoor walking environment. With the advance technology of laser scanning, it might be possible to develop an indoor walking path by using point clouds collected for a building. The usage of point clouds could make it easier to segment the building elements and obstacles in an indoor environment. In order to produce an indoor map, it is important to reconstruct the building elements such as wall, ceiling, window and door. Therefore, this paper aims to generate the indoor walking path using laser scanning point clouds showing all the options to the pedestrians.Keywords: Walkability, indoor mapping, point cloud, laser scanning, mobile laser scanning

Abstract:

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Computerized path planning, not constrained to transportation networks, may be useful in a range of settings, from search and rescue to archaeology. This paper develops a method for general path planning intended to work across arbitrary distances and at the level of terrain detail afforded by aerial LiDAR scanning. Relevant information about terrain, trails, roads, and other infrastructure is encoded in a large directed graph. This basal graph is partitioned into strongly connected subgraphs such that the generalized diameter of each subgraphs is constrained by a set value, and with nominally as few subgraphs as possible. This is accomplished using the k-center algorithm adapted with heuristics suitable for large spatial graphs. A simplified graph results, with reduced (but known) position accuracy and complexity. Using a hierarchy of simplified graphs adapted to different length scales, and with careful selection of levels in the hierarchy based on geodesic distance, a shortest path search can be restricted to a small subset of the basal graph. The method is formulated using matrix-graph duality, suitable for linear algebra-oriented software. Extensive use is also made of public data, including LiDAR, as well as free and open software for geospatial data processing.</p>

Abstract:

Deciphering of the molecular mechanism of the “unfolded protein response” (UPR) provides a wonderful example of how serendipity can shape scientific discovery. Secretory and membrane proteins begin their journey to the cell surface in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Before leaving the organelle, proteins are quality-controlled, and only properly folded proteins are transported onwards. The UPR detects an insufficiency in the protein-folding capacity in the ER and in the ways of a finely tuned homeostat adjusts organelle abundance according to need. If the protein-folding defect in the ER cannot be corrected, the UPR switches from a cell-protective to a cell-destructive mode and activates apoptosis in metazoan cells. Such life or death decisions position the UPR in the center of numerous pathologies, including viral infection, protein-folding diseases, diabetes, and cancer. The UPR proved to be a rich field for serendipitous discovery because the molecular machines that transmit information about insufficient protein folding and activate appropriate gene expression programs function in unusual, unprecedented ways. A key regulatory switch in the UPR, for example, is a cytoplasmic, nonconventional mRNA spicing reaction, initiated by a bifunctional transmembrane kinase/endoribonuclease.

Abstract:

We compare travel distance estimation from path integration during walking with path integration from visual flow. For visually simulated self-movement humans typically underestimate travel distance, which can be explained by leaky path integration. The amount of leak, i.e., the underestimation, is determined by the length of the path. For visually simulated movements along curved paths that veer left and right around a central forward direction estimates of the start-to-end distance decrease as the veering, i.e., the path length increases. Leaky path integration for visual travel distance estimation thus takes place along the actually traversed path even when a straight beeline distance is calculated. We studied whether the same leaky path integration occurs during real self-motion when vestibular and proprioceptive cues are available instead of vision. Sixteen subjects walked blindfolded from a starting point to targets 20, 30 or 40 m away, guided by an experimenter. They walked either along a straight line, or along paths that deviated first to the right and then to the left (or vice versa) before they reached the end point. This increased the path length by 5, 10, 20 or 30%. Subjects then gave a verbal estimate of their beeline distance from the starting point. Like in the visually simulated case, distance estimates for the same start-to-end distance of 40 m dropped as the path length increased, consistent with the prediction of the leaky integration model. We conclude that travel distance estimation is similar for visual and for vestibular/proprioceptive cues.

Abstract:

This paper presents a novel passive mobile device localization mode based on IEEE 802.11 Probe Request frames. In this approach, the listener can discover mobile devices by receiving the Probe Request frames and localize them on his walking path. The unique location of the mobile device is estimated on a geometric diagram and right-angled walking path. In model equations, site-related parameter, that is, path loss exponent, is eliminated to make the approach site-independent. To implement unique localization, the right-angled walking path is designed and the optimal location is estimated from the optional points. The performance of our method has been evaluated inside the room, outside the room, and in outdoor scenarios. Three kinds of walking paths, for example, horizontal, vertical, and slanted, are also tested.

Abstract:

This paper describes a motion capture (mocap) data-driven digital museum roaming system with high walking reality. We focus on three main questions: the animation of avatars; the path planning; and the collision detection among avatars. We use only a few walking clips from mocap data to synthesize walking motions with natural transitions, any direction and any length. Let the avatars roam in the digital museum with its Voronoi skeleton path, shortest path or offset path. And also we use Voronoi diagram to do collision detection. Different users can set up their own avatars and roam along their own path. We modify the motion graph method by classify the original mocap data and set up their motion graph which can improve search efficiency greatly.

Abstract:

How do cats manage to walk so graciously on top of narrow fences or windowsills high above the ground while apparently exerting little effort? In this study we investigated cat full-body mechanics and the activity of limb muscles and motor cortex during walking along a narrow 5-cm path on the ground. We tested the hypotheses that during narrow walking 1) lateral stability would be lower because of the decreased base-of-support area and 2) the motor cortex activity would increase stride-related modulation because of imposed demands on lateral stability and paw placement accuracy. We measured medio-lateral and rostro-caudal dynamic stability derived from the extrapolated center of mass position with respect to the boundaries of the support area. We found that cats were statically stable in the frontal plane during both unconstrained and narrow-path walking. During narrow-path walking, cats walked slightly slower with more adducted limbs, produced smaller lateral forces by hindlimbs, and had elevated muscle activities. Of 174 neurons recorded in cortical layer V, 87% of forelimb-related neurons (from 114) and 90% of hindlimb-related neurons (from 60) had activities during narrow-path walking distinct from unconstrained walking: more often they had a higher mean discharge rate, lower depth of stride-related modulation, and/or longer period of activation during the stride. These activity changes appeared to contribute to control of accurate paw placement in the medio-lateral direction, the width of the stride, rather than to lateral stability control, as the stability demands on narrow-path and unconstrained walking were similar.

Abstract:

The modeling of walking behavior and design of walk-friendly urban pathways have been of interest to many researchers over the past decades. One of the major issues in pedestrian modeling is path planning decision-making in a dynamic walking environment with different pedestrian flows. While previous studies have agreed that pedestrian flow influences path planning, only a few studies have dealt with the empirical data to show the relationship between pedestrian flow and path planning behavior. This study introduces a new methodology for analyzing pedestrian trajectory data to find the dynamic walking conditions that influence the path planning decision. The comparison of the pedestrians’ path shows that the higher proportion of opposite flows are, the greater they influence the path selection decision. In this study, we investigate the relationship between the opposite flow changes and path planning behavior and find the spatial and temporal ranges of the opposite flow that affects the path planning behavior. Lastly, we find the ratio of pedestrians that update their paths with respect to the opposite flow rate.

Abstract:

This paper describes experiments regarding navigation performance using a new locomotion interface for walking through virtual space. Although traveling on foot is the most intuitive style of locomotion, proprioceptive feedback from walking is not provided in most applications of virtual environments. We developed an infinite surface driven by actuators for enabling a sense of walking. Torus-shaped surfaces are selected to realize the locomotion interface. The device employs twelve sets of treadmills, connected side by side and driven in perpendicular directions. The virtual infinite surface is generated by the motion of the treadmills. A walker can go in any direction while his/her position is fixed in the real world. The device is called a Torus Treadmill. Navigation performance was measured by path-reproduction tests. Subjects were immersed in a virtual grass-covered plain on which a cone-shaped target object was placed. The subjects first traveled to the target object. After they reached it, the target object disappeared and the rehomed subjects were asked to return to the place where the target object was placed. We also set two target objects, and the subject traveled along a bent path. We compared two locomotion modes: walking on the Torus Treadmill and moving purely by joystick operation. The results of the bent-path experiment showed that the accuracy of the path reproduction in the Torus Treadmill mode is better than that of joystick mode.

Abstract:

Background:Path quality has not been well studied as a correlate of active transport to school. We hypothesize that for urban-dwelling children the environment between home and school is at least as important as the environment immediately surrounding their homes and/or schools when exploring walking to school behavior.Methods:Tools from spatial statistics and geographic information systems (GIS) were applied to an assessment of street blocks to create a walking path quality measure based on physical and social disorder (termed “incivilities”) for each child. Path quality was included in a multivariate regression analysis of walking to school status for a sample of 362 children.Results:The odds of walking to school for path quality was 0.88 (95% CI: 0.72−1.07), which although not statistically significant is in the direction supporting our hypothesis. The odds of walking to school for home street block incivility suggests the counter intuitive effect (OR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.08−1.19).Conclusions:Results suggest that urban children living in communities characterized by higher incivilities are more likely to walk to school, potentially placing them at risk for adverse health outcomes because of exposure to high incivility areas along their route. Results also support the importance of including path quality when exploring the influence of the environment on walking to school behavior.

Abstract:

Two studies investigated updating of self-position and heading during real, imagined, and simulated locomotion. Subjects were exposed to a two-segment path with a turn between segments; they responded by turning to face the origin as they would if they had walked the path and were at the end of the second segment. The conditions of pathway exposure included physical walking, imagined walking from a verbal description, watching another person walk, and experiencing optic flow that simulated walking, with or without a physical turn between the path segments. If subjects failed to update an internal representation of heading, but did encode the pathway trajectory, they should have overturned by the magnitude of the turn between the path segments. Such systematic overturning was found in the description and watching conditions, but not with physical walking. Simulated optic flow was not by itself sufficient to induce spatial updating that supported correct turn responses.

The paper researches on robots obstacle avoidance walking in a certain range, searching the shortest path between two points and the shortest walking time under some limitation of speed conditions. The paper first uses AutoCAD software to carry out field simulation, drawing out various robot walking route options. Then applying the distance between two points, sine and cosine theorems and related knowledge of plane geometry such as arc length formula to carry out modeling, and then uses Mathematica software to calculate various length of the path, finally take the shortest after analysis and comparison. On this basis, and after summed up various walking routes, we can see that from the start point to destination in this paper, the less the wheel number is, the narrower the distance between obstacles is, the shorter the path is. Finally, the paper carries out systematic evaluation and improvement on the disadvantages and advantages of the model, and gives the model promotes ideas.

Abstract:

In this paper, the path tracking control is studied for a quadruped robot, named TITAN-VIII, walking in a cluttered environment. A simple and efficient algorithm of path planning is proposed, which is characterized by finding turning-point in the walking environment for the robot. The generalized gait algorithm based on the static stability is presented for the continuous and omnidirectional crawl of the robot. Especially, the real-time robot localization in the walking environment, which is the key to the settlement of the path tracking control, is realized by dead-reckoning for the quadruped robot. Based on the above work, we design the closed-loop control architecture so that the robot is able to track the desired path in an obstacle-strewn environment. The reliability and effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through the experimental results.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine spatiality of transitions by combining aspects of urban form to policy analysis. It aims to increase understanding of how urban form relates to potential effects of transport policies on urban mobility transitions. Design/methodology/approach – Novel analytical framework combines concepts of path dependence, path creation and path destabilisation to three urban fabrics (walking, transit and car cities), to study the transition potential of recent transport policy measures influencing the Helsinki region in Finland. Findings – Analysis showed that the potential effects of single policy measures often reach over all three urban fabrics. A policy measure may simultaneously contain elements of both path dependence, i.e. support for fossil-fuel based private motoring in the car city and path creation, i.e. stimulation of innovations in transit or walking cities. Policy outcomes are often conditional on implementation of other policy measures. For transition governance, this indicates that policy mixes should both destabilise car cities and enforce path creation in walking and transit cities. Research limitations/implications – Findings are based on potential rather than evaluated impacts and a limited sample of policies. Practical implications – Findings support previous research on the importance of policy coherence: multiple policies and coherence across domains are important. They demonstrate the usefulness of analysing recent or planned policies from the transition perspective. Originality/value – The paper provides novel insights by combining policy analysis to the spatial model of overlapping urban fabrics. In addition, it applies the concepts of path dependence, path creation and path destabilisation in a new way.

Abstract:

Background and aim: The objective of this study was to demonstrate how a load cell and force–moment curves can be used outside of a gait lab to directly measure and evaluate the transverse plane loading moment on transtibial residual limbs. Technique: A load cell was attached distally to the socket of three transtibial amputees who walked a straight path and a circle of 3.048-m diameter with the prosthetic foot both inside and outside the curved path. Discussion: Compared to straight path walking, transverse plane moment decreased when the foot was on the outside of the curved path. When the foot was on the inside, the moment did not exceed that for straight path walking for two participants; maximum transverse moment was approximately 0.15 N m/kg of body mass. Force–moment curves indicated that each participant’s gait was unique, but underlying similarities were observed with respect to each of the three conditions. Clinical relevance A load cell in conjunction with curved and straight path walking and force–moment curves can be used outside of a gait lab to measure and examine the transverse plane loading on the residual limb.

Abstract From the analysis of Theo Jansen walking mechanism and of the path curve that it describes the reduced capability for crossing over obstacles of the Jansen leg (1 DOF) is pointed out. By using a 5 link belt mechanism with 2 DOF can be adapted for generating similar Jansen mechanism path curve, where the step height of this path can be increased. For this purpose a mathematical model is conceived in order to analyse and determine the parameters for driving and control of the operation of the novel walking leg solution.

Abstract:

This article provides a framework to help understand Indonesia’s rise. Although the study of emerging powers has flourished in recent years, much discussion is devoted to explaining large emerging powers, such as Brazil, Russia, India, and China (BRIC). Indonesia’s rise is overlooked because its material capabilities are less than those of the BRIC countries. In order to characterize the emergence of Indonesia, this article establishes a set of parameters to distinguish Indonesia from BRIC and middle powers. The parameters are: (1) attitude toward the international order; (2) performed role; and (3) nexus between regional and global roles. This article argues that Indonesia displays three characteristics that distinguish it from BRIC and middle powers—(1) soft-revisionist; (2) normative bridge building; and (3) accommodative regional leadership. The third and fourth sections of this article test these characteristics through G20 and climate change case studies. This article concludes that the characteristics of Indonesia’s emergence are located in a conundrum between those of BRIC and middle powers. Although it shares some characteristics with BRIC countries, Indonesia is carefully trying to keep a distance from BRIC and to maintain strategic autonomy in relations with other international actors.

Abstract:

Abstract Walking on a narrow path challenges attention and balance control but its neural correlates are unknown. We assessed the association between gray matter microstructural integrity and gait speed along a 6 m long and 20 cm wide path in participants from the Health, Aging, and Body Composition Study (n=155; mean age=83, 53% women, 35% black). Micro-structural integrity was measured by mean diffusivity (MD) in gray matter computed from diffusion weighted imaging (DWI); higher MD indicates lower integrity. We conducted general linear models to assess this association with gray matter microstructural integrity of regions of interest (based on known associations of usual pace gait speed): middle frontal gyrus; caudate; putamen; anterior, middle, and posterior cingulate; hippocampus; precentral gyrus; and supplementary motor area. We adjusted for total brain atrophy, usual pace gait speed, age, sex, race, and education. The average narrow-path gait speed was 0.97 m/s (standard deviation: 0.21). Average usual pace gait speed was 1.1 m/s (standard deviation: 0.21). After adjusting for covariates, we identified significant negative associations between narrow-path gait speed and gray matter MD of left posterior cingulate, left and right hippocampus, and left precentral gyrus (p<0.05). Narrow-path gait speed is associated with lower microstructural integrity in gray matter related to network connectivity (posterior cingulate), spatial cognition (hippocampus), and motor function (precentral gyrus).

Abstract:

With the successful application of automatic fare collection (AFC) system in urban rail transit (URT), the information of passengers’ travel time is recorded, which provides the possibility to analyze passengers’ path-selecting by AFC data. In this paper, the distribution characteristics of the components of travel time were analyzed, and an estimation method of path-selecting proportion was proposed. This method made use of single path ODs’ travel time data from AFC system to estimate the distribution parameters of the components of travel time, mainly including entry walking time (ewt), exit walking time (exwt), and transfer walking time (twt). Then, for multipath ODs, the distribution of each path’s travel time could be calculated under the condition of its components’ distributions known. After that, each path’s path-selecting proportion can be estimated. Finally, simulation experiments were designed to verify the estimation method, and the results show that the error rate is less than 2%. Compared with the traditional models of flow assignment, the estimation method can reduce the cost of artificial survey significantly and provide a new way to calculate the path-selecting proportion for URT.

Abstract:

Walking stability is an important factor that is related to working accidents at height. The understanding of the relationship between walking stability and walking conditions remains an unmet need. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of path height, width, and asymmetric conditions on the pressure and time information of the foot-ground interaction during walking. 12 subjects were required to walk at two height, three width, and asymmetric conditions. Plantar pressures during walking were measured with the F-scan insole sensors. The total pressures were normalized with body weight, and the temporal parameters were normalized with stance time. When the walking height increased, the plantar pressure at the “heel strike” phase did not change significantly, while that at “heel rise” and “toe off” phases significantly increased, and the “heel rise” occurred earlier, indicating a greater foot-ground interaction at the forefoot part of the sole. As the path width increased from 0.6 m to 1.2 m, the foot-ground interaction as well as the asymmetric effect approached to that of overground walking. The findings could help improve the risk assessment and footwear design.

Abstract:

Let [Formula: see text] be a planar Poisson point process of intensity [Formula: see text]. We give a new proof that the expected length of the Voronoi path between [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] in the Delaunay triangulation associated with [Formula: see text] is [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] goes to infinity; and we also prove that the variance of this length is [Formula: see text]. We investigate the length of possible shortcuts in this path, and define a shortened Voronoi path whose expected length can be expressed as an integral that is numerically evaluated to [Formula: see text]. The shortened Voronoi path has the property to be locally defined; and is shorter than the previously known locally defined paths in Delaunay triangulation such as the upper path whose expected length is [Formula: see text].
