      <title>Pedestrians Perceptions of Community Walking with Anti-Slip Devices – An Explorative Case Study</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1549214</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The risk of falls on slippery surfaces during wintertime is a public safety problem in the Nordic region in the Arctic. The aim of this case study was to explore pedestrians’ perceptions of walking safety, balance, slipping risk, priority for own use and subjective criteria for a well-functioning anti-slip device. An experimental set-up was utilized in which nine pedestrians tested 19 anti-slip devices by simulating walking in realistic traffic situations on four different surfaces. The pedestrians favored devices with a high number of friction points, distributed under the whole sole (in-built) or forefoot (sandpaper). Also, a whole-foot device with a high number of spikes received high ratings in all aspects measured except in balance enabling properties. Identified subjective criteria were safe foothold, comfort, enabling a normal gait, stability, silence, and predictability. The results indicate that both anti-slip properties and balance enabling properties of the device need to be considered for safe community walking.]]></description>

      <title>Heelys and Street Gliders Injuries: A New Type of Pediatric Injury</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/813871</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This article reviews the occurrence of orthopedic injuries in children as a result of "heeling" or "street gliding," which can be sustained by children using Heelys (HSL, Carrollton, TX) and Street Gliders (Glowgadgets Ltd, Bristol, United Kingdom).  The authors aim to increase public awareness and possibly prevent such injuries.  The authors prospectively recorded the data of all roller shoes injuries referred to the trauma and orthopedic surgery department of their hospital during the summer school holiday.  Data collected included demographics, type of injury, mechanism and place of injury, heeling or street-gliding experience, use of safety equipment, methods of treatment, and intention to continue heeling or street gliding after recovery from injury.  Over a 10-week period, 67 children (56 girls and 11 boys, mean age of 9.6 years) sustained orthopedic injuries while using Heelys or Street Gliders.  Upper limbs were the most common location of injury.  Distal radius fractures were the most prevalent, followed by supracondylar fractures, elbow dislocations, and hand fractures. The majority of children suffered the injury while heeling or street gliding outdoors. Interestingly, 20% of the injuries happened while trying Heelys or Street Gliders for the first time, and 36% of the injuries occurred while learning (using 1–5 times) how to use them.  None of the children used any sort of protective gear at the time of the injury. The majority of the injured children expressed their intention to continue heeling or street gliding after complete recovery from their injury.  The authors conclude by recommending close supervision of children using Heelys or Street Gliders during the steep learning curve and usage of protective gear at all times.]]></description>

      <title>HORIZONTALLY CURVED STEEL GIRDERS - FABRICATION AND DESIGN</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/105350</link>
      <description><![CDATA[THE USE OF HORIZONTALLY CURVED STEEL GIRDERS IN BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION IS CREATING INTEREST BECAUSE: (1) OF INCREASING DEMAND FOR HIGHWAY INTERCHANGES IN URBAN AREAS, (2) THE USE OF STRAIGHT GIRDERS AS CHORDS OF SHORT RADIUS SURVES REQUIRE SIMPLE SPANS WITH RELATIVELY CLOSE SUPPORTS AND NUMEROUS EXPANSION JOINTS AND BEARING DEVICES, (3) AESTHETIC CONSIDERATIONS HAVE LED TO A PREFERENCE FOR CURVED GIRDERS, AND (4) CURVED GIRDERS PROMOTE A UNIFORMITY OF CONCRETE DECK WORK THORUGH SIMPLICITY IN ARRANGEMENT, DETAILS AND CONSTRUCTION. FABRICATION METHODS OF CUTTING TO CURVE AND THE HEAT CURVING METHOD ARE OUTLINED. ALL DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS OF ALL COMPONENTS OF A STEEL CURVED GIRDER BRIDGE ARE DISCUSSED. THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES APPROPRIATE IN THE DESIGN OF EXPANSION BEARING DEVICES ARE RECOMMENDED: (1) INVESTIGATE THE MOVEMENTS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO ONE ANOTHER, (2) PROVIDE FOR ROTATION DUE TO APPLIED LOADS BY PLACING THE HINGE RADIALLY, (3) INVESTIGATE THE ABILITY OF A CONVENTIONAL TYPE SHOE ACTING IN THE PLANE OF THE HINGE MOVEMENT - TANGENT TO THE CURVE - TO SATISFY THE TRANSVERSE MOVEMENTS REQUIRED DUE TO TEMPERATURE, AND (4) IF A CONVENTIONAL SHOE CANNOT BE UTILIZED BECAUSE OF THE TRANSVERSE MOVEMENTS, DESIGN A SPECIAL BEARING DEVICE THAT WILL SATISFY THE COMPOUND MOVEMENTS.]]></description>

      <title>FOOTWEAR FRICTION ASSESSED BY WALKING EXPERIMENTS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/283617</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Analyses of accidents and gait biomechanics by Strandberg (1983) point to the substantial influence on human safety of walking friction on contaminated surfaces.  However, friction meter data often lack validity according to a past interlaboratory comparison.  Therefore, the slip-resistance of 18 types of footwear (tof) on three contaminated floorings was assessed by experiments with 12 well-trained subjects, walking in a triangular closed path as fast as possible without slipping and falling into the safety harness.  From the lap time the average value of the friction utilization (tfu) was computed with a model by Lanshammar and Strandberg (1985).  Ground reaction force measurements from individual steps with sliding motions confirmed that the tfu was close to the actual coefficient of friction.  On the most slippery surface the average time over five laps ranged between about 7 s and 20 s for the 18 tof.  The corresponding tfu means were about 0.3 and 0.04. The 18 tof could be separated at about ten significantly different tfu levels.  On the other two surfaces, the lap time variation was less pronounced and the rank order was different for certain tof.  The lap time varied least between the three surfaces for the most slip-resistant tof - from 7 s to 8 s, while other tof varied between 9 s and 20 s.  The results elucidate the influence of flooring and footwear parameters such as pattern, hysteresis, hardness and stiffness.  (TRRL)]]></description>

      <title>THE SCOPE FOR CONSOLIDATION AND OTHER STRATEGIES IN THE RETAIL DISTRIBUTION OF THREE SPECIFIC COMMODITIES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/170371</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Consolidation of goods distribution can reduce total vehicle mileages and number of deliveries by increasing average drop volumes. Incompatibility of goods with each other when being transported is a major limiting factor in goods consolidation. This study, by adopting a commodity approach, has attempted to evaluate the scope for increased consolidation and alternative distribution strategies for three specific retail commodities: furniture, confectionery and footwear.]]></description>

      <title>EFFECTS OF PLATFORM FASHION SHOES ON BRAKE RESPONSE TIME</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/65544</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The purpose of the present investigation was to examine the effects of "platform" fashion shoes on response time in vehicle braking.  Seventeen subjects participated in two test sessions: in one they wore platform shoes and in the other normal footwear.  Although all subjects were accustomed to wearing either type of footwear, platform shoes significantly slowed their braking responses, compared with normal shoes (0.91 vs 0.81 s, respectively).  This differential response time represents an increased stopping distance of 1.42 ft (433 mm) for each 10 mile/h (16 km/h) of vehicle speed.  /Author/]]></description>

      <title>ENERGY AND LABOR INTENSITY OF WALKING</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/46254</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Walking (in 1971) has an energy intensity of 1,380 Btu/passenger mile (PM) and a labor intensity of 0.75 jobs/million PM.  Additional food requirements to sustain the body while walking account for the direct energy cost and 10.4% of the total energy cost.  An average walker, for purposes of this study, weighs 130-150 lbs., walks on a level surface at 2.17 mph, and consumes 3.3 calories or 13.2 Btu's per minute.  Indirect costs include shoes, which measure 345 Btu/PM and .75 jobs/million PM.  Walkways and the complexities of the human body cannot be meaningfully measured in this context.  Bicycles, because of increased physiological efficiency, are a slightly more efficient (1, 340 Btu/PM) transportation system than walking. Appendixes include calorimetric measurements and analyses of footwear costs.  (DCK)]]></description>

      <title>HYDRAULIC TUNNELER HAS UPSIDE-DOWN DIGGER</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/140336</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Noteworthy design points are described and the operation is outlined of an innovative tunneling system which also includes paving of the tunnel invert without use of inner forms.  Details are described of the muck conveying system which embodies a series of steel flights, and in which spoil is dropped into a contractor-built rail car holding 11 to 12 tons.  A cycle (one 16-in. liner ring advance) takes about 40 minutes.  The machine advances 12 to 16 rings or 15 to 20 ft. per shift under adverse soil conditions.  Another feature of the tunneling is the scheme for placing and Striking off the semicircular invert slab.  A novel finishing device is a steel strike-off shoe mounted on the end of a pendulum arm, which revolves around a section of pipe located in the eye of the tunnel's radius.  The shoe is swung back and forth several times to finish the concrete to spec tolerance.  The device can be slid along the pipe as the concreting progresses.]]></description>
