WALKING SPEED OF CHILDREN BY AGE UNDER THE LEAD OF NURSERY SCHOOL TEACHER ON A SIDEWALK AND OVERPASS BRIDGE STAIRS DURING AN URBAN EVACUATION DRILL

市街地避難訓練時の歩道及び歩道橋階段における引率下の保育園児年齢別歩行速度

This study aims to investigate the walking speed of children by age during an urban-scale tsunami evacuation drill of a nursery school, where 391 children were divided in ten groups and instructed to walk two abreast following the group's head conductor. Main results: average speed varies from 0.49 m/s (2+5 years together) to 1.29 m/s (5 years) in sidewalk, and from 0.19m/s (2+5 years together) to 0.60m/s (5 years) in overpass bridge stairs (measured in inclined plane); average speed tends to be determined by the group's head conductor speed; average speed in downstairs tends to be slower than in upstairs.
