Title
Mobility analysis of the aged pedestrians by experiment and simulation
Abstract
In coming decade, the aging rate will dramatically increase in advanced countries.Focus on the mobility issues where the elderly and young pedestrians are mixed.Cellular Automata model is created with aid of experiments.The model shows reasonable consistency with the experimental result.The compatibility of elderly's safety and young's mobility is discussed. The relative weight of the population shifts from younger to elderly in the most of the region on the planet. Current aging rate in the advanced nations varies from 12% to 13% and is expected to increase up to 21-37% in 2050. The increase of aging rate in the society especially in the large city will lead a mobility problem. From a social quality point of view, it is important to achieve the compatibility between safety and mobility respectively for younger and elderly generation. For the purpose of understanding the basic characteristics of the pedestrian dynamics under cohabitation of younger and elderly generation, a Cellular Automata (CA) model is created with the aid of pedestrian experiments. Simulations are carried out to reproduce the experimental results and had shown a good agreement.
